Mach3 work with, but let marks on pieces by the on/off the laser, a default delay of Mach3 software for Spindle on/off.

Hi! DrufelCNC is a bad alternative. Its USB controller interface is primitive. It does not provide smooth uniformly accelerated movement of actuators. The quality of CNC software largely depends on the quality of the trajectory planner. DrufelCNC does not have it at all :(

Hi It's good for beginners and to work with Mach3 boards as easy as possible, It may have some problems but let the DrufalCNC team to aware of problems. It is a new burn software and has a long way to improve and bug fix.

@@manifa59 This is not new software. I have correspondence from 2021 in my archive. I pointed out the problems and provided measurements, calculations and even graphs. They did nothing. In 2023, I contacted them with a request to help connect MPG to the STB4100 controller, but I did not receive an answer. Were you able to connect MPG to this controller? I want to state that this is not good for beginners or anyone! Problem: the spindle moves jerkily.
