Hi Suat, today I am putting the final touches on the installation of a 2000 line (8000 ppr) encoder on my ORAC . I purchased one of these Acorn CNC controller, Step and Direction 4 axis CNC Control board with ethernet communication. to replace the Mach3 setup I've been running for years. Something for you think about for your lathe when you get ready to switch systems if you don't want to go through the pain of learning Linux to get encoder threading & true CSS. It also comes with proven commercial software, no buggy Mach stuff. It runs on Windows and comes with a touchscreen control panel. I think it is a gift from above !
