    They are without doubt the best BOB on the market. Steve stallings at PMDX is great bloke to deal with and will answer any questions or troubles you have.

    Just to make you aware regards Mach4. Mach4 is Plug-in based so any hardware you connect needs to have a plug-in written for it by the Manufacturer.
    Even the parallel port is a Plug-in which you purchase separate. This mostly affects motion controllers and there are small handful who have written a plug-in for them and then they are at differant stages of development. This means some are better than others and at the moment None of them are at level of stabilty I consider good enough for users with lower level of experience.

    Steve Stallings is quite involved with Mach4 development and his plug-in's for the products he sells that need them are probably one of the best but Mach4 is constantly changing which causes troubles for him and every other manufacturer. To be honest it shouldn't have been released IMO because it's still very buggy and tempramental. Effectively users are being used has beta testers so if you want to just install and go then I'd seriosly suggest you Don't buy Mach4 yet.
    It's getting better and the Mk2 update and following updates have really ironed out some of the bugs but it's still too itchy scratchy for me so I'd avoid using it.!! . . . . Lets put it this way I've had it since day one and used it with CSlabs, ESS, Pokeys plug-in's and other than for testing it I won't trust it to run my machine unattended.

    PS you don't need a Plug-in to use the PMDX126 it's just a BOB.

    Thanks for heads up! They do market MACH4 as ready goods... I will keep away from it for now.

    Yes ok price for 5lt but really you want 209 hardner not 206. you need very slow cure time to allow plenty of time for epoxy to level.
    I have used 206 before but you get much better results with 209 and not so rushed.

    Dean, good that you spotted that number cause it could have made one pull of his hair, if ordered and mixed the wrong hardener
    project 1 , 2, Dust Shoe ...

    Thanks guys.
    Temperature in my workshop is about 5-10c. Should I still go with 209? My supplier does not have 209 in stock...
    Or I just keep my pants on until normal temperature arrive?

  11. Are you in a rush? I'm waiting till summer for my pour!

    I totally understand the rush, can't wait to have it built :) How about you heat up your workshop for two or three days ? You can just rent a propane or electric heater.
