    I got a pretty reasonable deal to upgrade to v23 pro from v22 non-pro. It only cost a little more than getting the pro upgrade for v22, so I'd say the price was fair!

    v23 has quite a few new...

    Hi Melville,

    I have the S720, I didn't need to do much to set it up when I received it, I used Mach3 controller software, and BOBCAD for creating toolpaths.
