Hi,
Considering one of these for a lathe. I need 3 axis control, Z, X and Turret.
https://www.cnc4you.co.uk/UC300
Does this allow me the following:-
0-10V for Spindle or do I need to use my RS485 via USB? Id like to use their software and ditch Mach at some point.
Z, X and Turret stepper control.
Usual limits
Threading? Can this be done with an encoder that provides an Index pulse?
Do I need to buy anything else for this board? PSU?
Thanks

It's not listed on the features, but this tells you what you need to know about threading and encoders - http://forum.cncdrive.com/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=299

I would highly recommend the ethernet version, along with the UB1 breakout board.

Note that there is no "lathe" mode in UCCNC at this time.
For lathe use, I think the Centroid acorn may be the best hobby control right now.Gerry

Gerry, does this board - https://www.cnc4you.co.uk/UC300 - need a Breakout board of sorts or is this all that is needed?

Yes, both the USB and ethernet UC300's need a breakout board. (or multiple breakout boards).
The ethernet UC300 is more powerful and faster than the USB version, and the cost is about the same.
Imo, UCCNC is much better than Mach3. Better trajectory planner, and mostly bug free. If you find a bug, they'll usually have it fixed in a few days.
It's missing some features that Mach3 has, but for most people, but they are features that most people don't use anyway.Gerry
