    Hi and welcome to the forum.

    First Mach3 will only count one pulse on the spindle it will do thread cutting of a sort but not rigid tapping etc.

    You would need some sort of motion control board to do the step making in hardware.

    There are better controllers out there. I use a mesa card which is used with linuxcnc (free) but it does take some time to learn it. You can also put mpg's on it to be able to use the lathe manually.
