If the machine comes with a CV post, it should work for you. The post tailors the g-code output from CV to your machine, as different controls use slightly different flavors of g-code. Mach3 is a controller, similar to the Fanuc Controller.

I realize that some of these are questions of a very specific nature regarding non-mach3 software but i thought i would give it a shot. Can i draw parts in turbocad and import them into Mach3 for tool pathing etc. So the machine comes also with a post to run that program. The machine comes with a teaser version of Cabinet Vision software to entice buyers to purchase the full version. and why do i need to have someone come to my shop and do it? How does Mach3 compare with programs like the ones mentioned? Could i nest parts on a sheet of plywood? Would Mach 3 work with this machine? (it comes with a Fanuc controller)

Another thing I need to do (so they tell me) is have a tech from planit come to the shop and create a POST for the machine. To integrate CV to the machine, i need to purchase the NC center module of CV and it is recommended that Alphacam, or Enroute, or Mastercam etc be also purchased (by the machine salesman). I've been a long time user of Cabinet Vision made by Planit ( makers of Alphacam).Īt the shop we are considering the purchase of an Omnitech 5'x10' router for nested base component cutting. I'm sure that i will make a (some) of my own cnc machines. I've spent much time lurking in the DIY cnc sites and mention of and praise for Mach 3 abounds!!
