Re: CNC flame/plasma cutter

John,

If anyone is looking for a new controller, I would recommend that they look
at the cnc controller from Microsystems of Buckhannon www.msys,net

I have used it for a couple of years on my cnc router. It has great
constant contouring support.

I also have the ahha card and program.
