Good news, bad news. The THC is working perfectly with MACH2. I
updated the schematic in Master5 Files. Now for the bad news: my
business for my designs cut using the torch table has increased and
sapped a lot of my "spare" time. I am working on the PC layout but
at a slower pace. I hope to have a preliminary design done in a few
days.

I don't think the table will ever get converted back to wood routing
unless some huge job appears for it. I do have enough components
scrounged to build a smaller (2X3) totally separate wood router but
then again the time issue crops up (sigh)...
