phhhfffttt...
So admittedly, I don't have the knowledge to swap hardware, reconfigure the software involved in switching my machine over to pathpilot....how does this disqualify me from having a knowledgeable opinion of the functionality and shortcomings of Mach3? I can assure you I am way more familiar then I want to be, as we run the software on three machines and have for several years, and we do it with a great deal of success. However, with any manufacturing process there is always room for improvement, and by my experiences Mach3 offers a lot room for improvement...I know plenty of people who run their very successful machine shops that have less knowledge of the hardware in their control panel and the software's configurations then I have of mine...How do they do it?? Easy, what they have works the way it should, so there is no need for that knowledge. So yes I find Mach3 to be a pos, make no apologies for feeling this way, and yes I desperately want a better alternative...
