There is a lot of support available since it so widely used but I have found every version of mach to be glitchy and unreliable. Honestly I think that mach3 is a mess and mach4 is not much of an improvement. Lot's of people talk about odd issues with Mach3, but with dedicated motion control it's not ever been an issue for me. I surf the web, do CAD/CAM, listen to music, all right from my controller while I machine. The big issue was that my spindle randomly started, not good when probing. I don't understand why you have to learn LUA to do Mach4, everybody that runs Mach4 in my experience ends up dabbling in LUA.Īdditionally, I had some weirdness with Mach 4 that I just never liked, this despite having perfectly good working software with Mach 3. The support from UCCNC is better, they have actual company reps. The motion control in UCCNC is much improved over Mach3, Mach4 is okay.
I'm not sure where your confusion in this regard is stemming from? You'll be hard pressed to afford CAM on a hobby level for this. Mach 3, UCCNC, and Mach4 can all run 6 axis simultaneous.
I run Mach 3 most often, but UCCNC is becoming more widely used now that they are building much expanded probing routines into the software.
