You also forget to mention that to get the industrial version of mach4 you are going to pay $1000 -$2000. (which isn't that much but a whole lot more than zero...)
If you go for the 'hobby' version of mach4 you don't get the fanuc style macroB language extensions. So as I under stand it - you are stuck with the mach3 style language that has no conditionals and such (ie - linuxcnc before owords - which is what Art started with). $200+ more if you want the printer port module - otherwise you need to buy external motion hardware. (which is usually more than mesa, pico or other linuxcnc supported hardware with less flexibility) I still get a kick out of 'needing to be a programmer' to use linuxcnc.. Mach4 is supposedly a lot more flexible to modify. Guess what you have to use - lua - a microsoft programming language.. Before that you had to use 'brains' which was some sort of vb like language.. I just don't understand.. I have setup many many machines without having to do any 'programming' with linuxcnc. Correct me if I am wrong..
