Hi everyone, I am a toolmaker and have some experience in using cnc machines, but have decided to build a small cnc mill for fun really.
I'm not getting any younger and I like the idea that a machine can do some of the work while I just push a mouse around... lol.
My question to you guys is should I set the machine up using mach3 or would it be better to use mach4, as I am just starting which would you go for.
I will probably be producing fairly simple components for use in model steam engines and the like and I think mach3 can and would do everything I need, but I don't want to have to learn something new a year down the road if I meet limitations with mach3.
So there you go people, answers on a postcard please and stay safe,
Steve
