Re: Anyone milling PCBs?

Didn't see my post maybe there is a delay? Anyway I will restate my questions since they are open to everyone.

What software to use to control the mill? I considered Mach3 but it has two problems. First it only works with a parallel port from what I understand. I need USB. From what I understand there are USB controllers that might work with mach3? But most important the Free version of Mach3 is really limited on the steps it can process.

I figure I will use one of those Arduino controllers. Already have one on order. I thought I would use Universal GCode Sender. Are there better affordable options?
