Any update?

I sent an email and got no answer.

Maybe it got caught in the spam filter???

I have been following info on this product, interesting concept.

If given an opportunity I will write up Mach3 wizards with auto tool zeroing routines etc. I guess this will take my screens and scripts to next level.
I am looking forward to more info and videos.

Your best bet would be to contact manufacturer.

I know automatic ATC is sweet I deal with those every day on production machines. As posted below if that will be possible I will make software side work to make it fully auto including tool zeroing and all tool holders in the system.

Production tools are set by measuring tool lenght in tool holder end manually entered in tool data base within control software. Most DIY folks have never been exposed to that enviroment.

I talked on the ph with them about the time I posted the last post I made, and they told me about the first of August!(nuts)

My guess is that Mach3 V4 is over a year away, but you may be talking about the new release of V3 with the new screen? If so, I believe the new features are just macros called by the screen set. They won't have any effect on Big Tex's macro.

Sure seems enticing, but the fact is it's been almost a year & I'm hoping any early people have all received their money back!

I talked with them two more time since this post, and they kept pushing the release date further out. My guess is, it isn't going to happen any time soon, and since you can now buy the chinese spindles with built in atc, I honestly don't see the reason.

Keling has them. They start at $3400 for a 2.2KW. Add a few tool holders and collets, and you're at about $4K
