Please note: This companion video to our CNC Software Setup Guide includes steps for installing the Ethernet Smoothstepper plugin and our Auto Z Touch Plate script. These steps are now performed automatically for you by our latest Mach3 installer. This guide remains a very useful walkthrough of the software setup process, but these steps can now be skipped provided you use our Mach3 installer (included in the CNC Software Setup Guide linked to below).
Continuing our PRO CNC Build Series as we install & configure the CNC control software on our control PC and take our new CNC machine for its first run, jogging, initial homing, and configuring the machine for use with the Auto Z Touch Plate.

Thank you for mentioning to make sure you have your motors engaged. I struggled with this and thought it was everything but that, turns out I'm just an idiot and it started to move as soon as I engaged them. I feel like most of the other tutorials glossed over this very important step. Again, I'm an idiot and both Avid, and Mach information is very through and helpful. It's appreciated!
Awesome. Just in time for my build. Thanks Nathan!!
Nathan these are great videos! Keep them coming! thanks again
You guys make great videos . I'll be assembling your 4/8 pro series someday
I’m glad I watched this. This software setup and config process is positively 198O’s complex and Byzantine. I now see why Tormach developed Path Pilot. I have zero desire to use Windows or Mach3 after watching this. Thanks for this video.
Even though you guys don't sell it with servos it would still be nice to see a video on how to use clearpath servos with this kit.
Nice
I saw mention of plasma at 10:30 how is that project coming along?
Nice CNC router , im making copy of it .. :)
pls can I use same limit switch with breakout board 5v
Any plans to update this video for Mach4???
Oop! Ctrl-V is paste in Windows, is it actually Ctrl-P in Mach3, or was that misstated?
It should be Ctrl-v @ 12:37 - Sounds like a verbal slip on my part. Thanks for catching that! -Nathan
Awesome, thanks for the clarification! I figured as much but, then, Mach 3 has some idiosyncrasies that have left me scratching my head.. Great video too, thanks for all the detailed information about your systems!
Has anyone used Path Pilot on one of your machines?
Hi Jack, Not that I'm aware of, though some have used "mainstream builds" of LinuxCNC. It's not something we natively support, though for advanced DIY folks, most things are possible! -Nathan
has avid created an updated version of this video..? a video that includes Mack4 and windows 10 pro 2021..? for new avid cnc owners...
This is currently under production and will be done very soon. The written instructions are available for a step by step guide on this process. If you need any assistance during this process please feel free to reach out to the support team! www.avidcnc.com/support/instructions/software/mach4/
@@AvidCNC ...may i suggest an update to all the videos...thank you.
Is there a slow version of these instructions...like about as I can type this line? 😕
Play the video in slow motion.
Hello Avid CNC. I am going to set up my pro 48x48 using Mach3. Is this video still valid a far as the steps needed to set up my machine with mach3? Are all the files that are needed still available on your website. I know the latest and greatest is Mach4 butI have a license for Mach3 and would like to continue using it if possible. Please let me know. Thanks in advance.
Hello, yes we also have our Mach3 documentation available on our support site. We encourage you to upgrade to Mach4 when you have the chance. If you have any questions about either of these processes please don't hesitate to reach out to our support team by emailing Support@AvidCNC.com
Here is the archived Mach3 Instructions. www.avidcnc.com/support/instructions/archived/software/softwareSetup/
@@AvidCNC Thanks, It's really appreciated.
Is there a reason you running MACH3 and not MACH4?

@@spencerdyer4372 can you repost this please. I get a error. Or if it's a you tube video what's the name of it.
Thanks
questions in the comment section are going unanswered. This reflectly badly on the company's reputation.
Thanks for your feedback, are there any unanswered questions of interest to you specifically? Let us know here or feel free to contact our support team at support@cncrouterparts.com. -Nathan
WAY too fast up front. I couldn't follow much. Seeing a mouse click SOMEWHERE 8 times in 4 seconds is NOT very helpful. I'm in the market, but not if this is a sample of your learning stuff.
Hi Greg - If you prefer written assembly and setup instructions, feel free to review those at www.cncrouterparts.com/instructions or contact us directly with any questions. Thanks! -Nathan
Thanks!
Hey! Question. What is the difference between the Standard and Pro products?
Also, thanks, above!
