    breakout board suggestions for mach and lathe

    I have been happily using deskcnc for about 4 years now but would like to play with Mach3 a little. I am converting a 14x40 lathe with ball screws , geckos and DC servo motors and would like a little input on which breakout board would be best suited for my build. PWM output for vfd and spindle encodrer input are important , would also like to be able to interface , tool changer/turret , mist and flood selonoids as well as possibly a couple of aux outputs .New to mach, any advice welcome.

    I recommend the above board also. My entire set-up is about 2 years old and was constructed completely from boards from www.cnc4pc.com. Good stuff.

    Consistency is a good thing....unless you're consistently an idiot.

    I used the C11G for my set up. Works great for me.
