Just out of interest you don't state what version of mach you bought... If mach4 you need to be sure whatever motion controller you use will actually work with it.
General Basic principles of the electronics are similar to 3D printer, but obviously beefed up due to the higher power requirements. Power supplies tend to be higher voltage (at least 48v) and motors have their own dedicated stand alone drivers. Due to VFD noise one needs to be a little stricter regarding good earthing practises. Most 3D printers are also stand alone, most CNC's require a computer running something like mach/ucnc etc so considerations about Ethernet/USB/parallel port and the various advantages and disadvantages of each need to be considered.Last edited by Zeeflyboy; 06-10-2017 at 04:39 PM.
