Hi all,

Have been looking through various forums for suggestions but just haven't been able to find any decent answers.

I currently have a QueenBee Pro based CNC that I built with hybrid steppers, water-cooled spindle, and Masso G3 controller.

I'm in the process of buying a Chinese 1212/1313 machine with ATC and vacuum table and an having a hard time deciding on a controller.
My options are:
1. Chinese Mach 3 board
2. NK105 controller
3. RichAuto B57 DSP
4. Have the machine sent without a controller and get a good one.

I'm going to use the machine on plywood mostly, with some wood processing.

I'm looking for a good controller recommendations that's reliable, fast, support slave Y axis with independent homing, and has post processors for Fusion, Vectric, and MasterCam. Ideally I'd rather not use a computer, but I do want a screen to show toolpaths.

I also like the idea of just having the machine arrive ready to run and not having to wire and configure a bunch of things.


Any recommendations are greatly appreciated!!

Edit: updated requirements to include slave Y axis homing
