Looks like a fun machine and the price is reasonable.


Until you have to replace a board.
Tulip would be your friend on this one.

Why bother, when a board goes bad, replace the control with an EMC2 control
for less than $500 and be done with it. Mach 3 is good for stepper systems,
with EMC2 you can replace servo controls for less than $500 complete
(computer, operating system, cnc software, servo board, interface board, I/O
board, breakout boards, ribbon cables, etc). It's nice to have a control
system with the most expensive board costing $199 to replace.
