Looking at options.
I thought about those types but I settled on a Gecko G540 and an ethernet smoothstepper instead.
Both were recommended by X-carve users here.
Even though I do not have a pendant I think you can add one. Mach3 is sooo awesome.
nice. I just might get one. would make my setup much cleaner as I wouldn’t need a computer in the garage to run things.
