    I like how mach3 2010 is layed out with small tab panels, and how the tool change routines work

    I use Gerry's Mach3 2010 layout for it's concise use of screen space and having most of the functionality I need right there on one screen. I say "most" since I frequently use the probe screen.

    Well worth the price.

    MSM Mill, Mill Turn, Turn

    I use MSM from Calyspo Ventures Software for the mill and lathe. Will be experimenting with Mill Turn (Using the Mill as a Lathe) as soon as I have finished fabricating the tooling for it.

    The following link will take you to my experience with MSM and has numerous screen shots of the screens. Not just another screen set, numerous add on features such as virtually any probing routine you might need, expanded tool table, master tooling etc. etc.

    The following link will take you to Calypso Venture's web page, click on Digital Machinist articles.

    MSM by Calypso Ventures.
    Super screen set for Mill, Mill Turn and Lathe.
    Far more than just a screen set, includes phenomenal probing capabilities, numerous tool handling techniques etc.

    Re: Favorite Mach3 Screenset

    I like the stock install best! Makes it much easier to understand what people are talking about when trying to learn from youtube video's.

    Haven't even used it yet, but I'm glad to know you don't have to stick with those candy colored blurry shaded windows, with bitmap fonts, that it comes with!

    You could have tried it free for 30 days to see if it works for you before purchasing it.

    I also use Ger21's screenset. Gerry did most of us a favor by doing the hard work and let us reap the harvest for a very reasonalbe cost! Thanks Ger.
    Speaking of screensets, is there a proven screenset for an ATC used with Mach? Hopefully I'll have one in my future.

    I made my own as well for the small mill and my plasma cutter. I used similar theme for both. I call it green.
    It has just what I like and placed where I want it.
    For my plasma, I basically just overlaid Tom's stock screen and used most of the same coding for buttons, etc.
    I am biased though.

    The main reason I stuck with it was I was not going to let those screen designers kick my butt. I have several attempts in the past where I didn't stick with it and they did kick my butt. No more.

    Screen shot for my plasma. The mill is similarly colored.
