Mach3 Mach3Version R2.0.008

Mach3 (Mach3Version R2.0.008) by ArtSoft CNC Software Inc. is a Windows-based CNC control application that turns a PC into a versatile machine controller for mills, routers, lathes, plasma cutters, and engravers. This legacy R2.0.008 release provides reliable G-code execution and real-time motion control through a standard parallel port or compatible external motion controllers, making it suitable for hobbyists, prototypers, and small shops.

Key capabilities include:

• Up to 6-axis control with step/dir support for steppers and servos
• RS-274 (G-code) interpreter with standard and custom M/G codes
• 3D toolpath visualization, MDI, cycle controls, and feed/spindle overrides
• Homing, limits, soft limits, E-stop, and probing support
• Work and tool length offsets, fixture management, and backlash compensation
• Customizable screen sets, hotkeys, and user-definable buttons
• Macro scripting (VBScript) and a plugin architecture for add-ons and pendants
• Built-in wizards for common machining operations to speed setup

Notes:

• Licensing: The unlicensed demo is typically limited to a fixed number of G-code lines; a paid license unlocks full operation.
• System compatibility: As a legacy version, R2.0.008 targets older Windows systems (commonly Windows XP-era). For newer PCs or operating systems, consider using a supported external motion controller or evaluating more recent Mach releases.
