Pheonix Magnum Cnc Router
I have asked about this before, but had no replies and guess I was probably in the wrong section. I have a small Pheonix Magnum router (21" square).This machine is in quite good condition and seems to work fine, but I find the PROCAD cadcam software difficult to learn. Is it possible to adapt the machines inbuilt controller to work with a more modern cadcam system, or would it be better to consider scrapping\rebuilding the existing controller. My preffered option would be to leave the machine as is, but if the controller does need to be replaced\rebuilt is it better to use the parallel or serial port the for the PC connection. Even if I have to replace the controller I would hope that I can keep the existing stepper motors and perhaps the drivers. I hope that I get a better response than last time.Thanks,GEOFF.
