Hello all, I'm new here. I have been doing a lot of research getting my self ready to purchase the things I need for CNC milling. I want to get a Sherline CNC Mill 5410 with stepper motors and motor controller box. I was wondering if Mach3 is compatible with Sherline's motor controller?

Thanks in advance.

Hi, Sn96

Mach3 will run it fine, Sherline cont is a step & dir, Hears the port pin-out's.

DB25 pin out:

    1 - Input from EMC (may be ignored in other systems)
    2 - X Direction
    3 - X Step
    4 - Y Direction
    5 - Y Step
    6 - Z Direction
    7 - Z Step
    8 - A Direction
    9 - A Step
    10 - NC
