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?
