Looking at this from the other side, that may mean that the company has enough confidence in their machine that they don't think it will break in 3 years. :)

Well at least they have a US based distributor, so somebody to scream at if things go south.:D
Re: Shopmaster turnado lathe
I would hope that they would provide a Mach 3 setup .xml file since they've assigned all the ports and pins to the control hardware. It would be silly not to.
Re: Shopmaster turnado lathe
I purchased one in Sept. Waiting patiently for it to arrive. Id be happy to update you here in this thread when I do receive the machine. Yes it should be pretty much a "plug and play" machine setup with mach3. I plan to convert mine to mach4 shorty after I receive it. They do have a pdf on mach setup for the machine however here: https://www.shopmasterusa.com/wp-con...FOR-MACH-3.pdf that may help you, it may not. I posted just so you have the info if you did need it.
