Anyone have experience good, bad, or indifferent?

They seem to provide a quality product Mach based, reasonable prices, etc. However, I would prefer hearing first hand reports.

So far it seems like a nice system . I am only using there B.O. Board & Stepper drives .My own computer and there PCI parallel card .I had a little trouble going through all the documentation that is required for a installation like this ,all of which was my fault and there is a lot to go through . Mach Motion was very patient and helpful with what they could do over the phone . In the end I just had a mix up with the ports which after I walked away for a few hrs of doing something else I had a eureka moment . It is up and running for right now I am just using the stock Bridgeport step mtrs . I did get 1 new one from Mach Motion which I plan on installing on my Z axis or just have it ready to keep for a spare . I will get pics of the install after I get the cabinets finished .The nice thing about having issues on install is I now know more about how this thing works in more detail .

I would say give them a call . I was able to find everything I needed on their website after speaking with them on the phone .The mach 3 control is very impressive for the price and seem to work well with mach motion .At first I though there BO board was a little pricey but after figuring everything out it was worth it .

Update on the Mach Motion Stepper drives . I have no experience really with anyone elses except the standard boss 5 hardware that was in the mill then converted to Mach 3 . I like the fact that there are no other power supplys (except the 24v for the BOB )needed for the drives . So far they have been working great even with the old stepper motors . There are a few follow up things I need to work out but they are minor and I believe no fault of Mach Motion . They seem like a very helpful company . I will get some pics of the conversion shortly I still need to finish some items . Dave

If you note the poster's location... That is a serious long distance call. It might also be a factor in why they did not reply. Some companies just don't want to deal with export compliance and customs.
