Hello everyone,

Is there a way to make Mach3 use (glass)scales to know where its at instead of stepper motor pulses?

Great work Dan. Looking forward to following your journey with CNCing the G0704. I have a HF mill/drill and want to CNC it.

Dan, Have you started on the CNC conversion of the G0704 yet?
