Mach 4 Hobby

Post by ColoradoWayne »

Has anyone moved to Mach 4 for plasma cutting? Is it worth doing the upgrade? Thanks.

Its not simply a change in software it involves a change in hardware, new post processors, and a loss of some of the automation features you have on your table. You won't see a lot of MACH4 plasma table builds. You won't find much (if any) level of support so you will get to be a "Pioneer" and do it yourself.
