Dear all
for some reason my earlier message failed to post.
I am in the process of rebuilding a few dead machines
Denford Starmill ATC
Denford Orac ATC
Emco VMC 100
Thank you in advance for your kind help and advise.

Welcome.

Are you going to be rebuilding to Mach 3 or something else?
Hi Chaz
I'm rebuilding to Mach3 for the StarMill and Orac but will probably use a standalone panel for the Emco VMC100

Cool, why different? What panel are you considering?

Moving to industry standard dialects of G-Code allows use of a wide range of CAD/CAM systems?
I am going mach3 only because I had an old license from many years ago so the cost to me is a set of smoothstepper board. But if I were to do it again I would probably go with a dedicated panel. Mach3 license plus smoothstepper and breakout total 2/3 the price of one of the indistrial looking panels that support standard G/M codes. Also these panels support ATC (which I think will be easier to get going too) rather than have to write a bunch of macros.
