It has been awhile , and sry to anyone looking how I made out with mine .

Did a total swap of all the Gerber electronics and motors , went with gecko G540 ( http://www.cncrouterparts.com/3-axis...-kit-p-74.html ) and mach 3 . On both machines I kept windows xp and only the very basics on the comp . ( stand alone ) no net no virus no other junk that was basically a waste . Turned off all updates and and firewall since it is not connected to the net . They work great and have some issues with file transfers from other comp Cd's and that about it .( could be just old CD's ) Use a memory stick will prob be a better means to end anyway .

Since all the lead screws are identical , settings through mach 3 is just a matter of typing in the same settings

So now I have extra Arc stations and the rest to part with to whom ever needs some items .

This week will finally get around to making new gantry side plates to increase the z height , 2 - 3 inches added , with new spacer blocking under the gantry that bolts to the rail track mounts . Will prob have to re surface the table top but that's no big issue to worry about . Change the plumbing for the vac table to front rather than rear and separate sections plumbed and valved just for specific table areas worked on . scooper1 , if you need the exact settings can pass them along no worries , that is if your going with same set up .

Have the first set of gantry side plates ( all they had was 5052 no 6061 plate ) done , extra 2 inches in height from the factory for max material thickness that can be done is now 4.25 inches . 2 x 4 x 6 square channel tubing also as the spacer to bolt in .
