Hi all.
I played around with a small, hobby CNC some years ago (home built by previous owner with 2020 profiles but he couldn't get electrics / motors working so I got it for a steal!).

I have just bought an Infotec unit, that is so old that it doesn't show on their website and I cannot find info for it anywhere - no model number on the unit, just says 'JMS Engineering Ltd' and 'Infotek'.

I've included some photos.

I contacted Infotek last week but not had a reply from them :-(

I was hoping to be able to use their software, which I believe is called InfoCam, but with lack on contact from them I am thinking of using a cheap Mach3 controller instead - I still have the software on an old laptop that came with the aforementioned hobby CNC machine - what do you all think?

The electrics / electronics side does not worry me as I am an Electronic Engineer. It's whether the little board would be safely capable of running the machine.

Regards, Stephen
