    Re: XZero CNC

    It looks like the MX4660 has an extra bank of inputs/outputs. If your not using the VFD on the MX3660 maybe that could be used????

    Re: E-Stop error with Mach3 & MX3660 Setup

    Let us know! I see on the Tnutz website they offer a "slotted" version (on one side) as well. Might be a better option for a little wiggle room.
