    Re: Retrofitting Prolight 2000 4-axis mill

    Should be a very nice mill with keeping the servo motors. The 100 pound working load makes these old blues the superior benchtop CNC mill.

    Would love to see a build thread on this forum.

    Re: Retrofitting Prolight 2000 4-axis mill

    You 100% cannot run the DOS software for this in any kind of emulation. It has to have exclusive access to the serial port connected to the mill. Any interruption in the software's contact with the...

    Re: G-Code Ripper - Scale, Rotate and Split G-code

    I'd still like to see this able to mirror image G-Code, while keeping the same movement direction so regular milling doesn't switch to climb milling, or visa-versa.

    Is yours a 1000 or a 2000? Mine is a 2000. The DOS software *may* work under windows 9x. It will not work properly with Windows XP because XP constantly seizes control of the serial ports which...
