RE: ShopTask Ball Screws

This may be beneath the level that you guys work but maybe someone can
offer advice:

I have a ShopTask 1720XMTC which I am running with the CNC setup that they
offered, TMG hardware and software. I think I would like to switch to ball
screws on the X and Y axis, ShopTask's price is $699.00. Are they available
elsewhere for less, or is that a good price?

The software seems to support accessories on a second parallel port. Does
anyone have a circuit that will allow a few relays to be operated through
the parallel port.

Did TMG ever release the"machine face software" that they show on their
website as being available in the fall?

I really enjoy reading your mail and figured it couldn't hurt to ask.

Steve
