    Need advise on Mill upgrade.

    I was hoping someone could tell me if the hardware on this mill would be compatible with Mach3? What would need to be changed to make it compatible?

    Thanks for the help.

    I don't see any reason why it wouldn't be compatible with Mach3. You've got individual motor controllers, and a parallel port breakout board in there... You just need to trace which parallel port pins hook up to which driver/other function and enter all that info into mach3

    I haven see that exact mill before, do you know what mill it is based on?

    It does look like it has a standard PP interface so it should work with Mach3 just fine.

    Nice mill BTW
