Will do - it's arrived, and I've got it running from a trial of Mach3, and from PCNC, but I'm a total n00b so will be a while before I've got it cutting things out.

Mach3 wants to do things 50 times bigger than I want, and PCNC is fine, but won't open any g-code that I've generated in Bobcad or other programs. But all axis and spindle are all controllable from software which is a good start!

One thing I've learned is that USB parallel port adapters don't work (with my setup) - I wanted to use a laptop + adaptor, but ended up having to set my desktop with parallel port up next to machine. Will order an express card Parallel port and see how I get on.

Will keep you posted with updates + photos.
