Isel 4433 - Can I use Mach3 with it?

[loudew]

Hi Clive,
So would Lcnc work with a serial port machine? If you don't have an idea, don't worry. I appreciate the help and am also going to explore Lcnc a little more, even if I don't use it - looks interesting. Just out of interest, what CNC machines do you have? Fairly new to this stuff and find it really interesting so :D.
Cheers

Sorry but you are not giving enough info. Are you talking about the pc on the machine itself? Lcnc nor Mach3 will work over a serial interface. But they will both work with the correct hardware over Ethernet or PP I think you can get a controller for USB with Mach3 but not with Lcnc .

I have a small lathe and a Mill running Lcnc and a router running Mach3 (purely a hobby for me)

Ahh right. I was looking at a lathe but thought it is probably wise for my first CNC machine to be a router.
