Defiantly dump the supplied control box if you have G540 it's a fantastic bit of kit.

If you have practical experience with the 6040, what areas do you see problems with? I don't expect it to be a particularly fast machine, given the testing of working axis I done so far, but sufficient for what I want to do. Any feedback is most welcome.
The VFD supplied with the spindle is not great with quite a few users replacing them with a name brand unit.

I've gotten most of the bits I need to set up the G540 but need to pick up some suitable cable for the steppers, hopefully tomorrow or it will be sometime in the new years before shops are open again.
