Despite the rise of newer CNC control software like UCCNC, Mach4, and LinuxCNC, the Mach3 2010 Screenset keeps a legacy software relevant. Many users find that a stable Windows 7 or Windows 10 PC running Mach3 paired with a smooth motion controller (like a SmoothStepper) and the 2010 Screenset performs just as efficiently as modern commercial software setups costing hundreds of dollars more.
: Replaces the cluttered standard Mach3 screens with a single "Main" page for common tasks and smaller tabs for specialized functions.
This is the crown jewel of the 2010 Screenset. It features a robust, built-in macro system for dual-plate tool probing (Initial Probe and Fixed Probe). Mach3 2010 Screenset
Set the touch plate thickness:
The default screen throws every single button, DRO (Digital Read-Out), and feature onto one page. Low Resolution: It was designed for Despite the rise of newer CNC control software
The set includes deeply customized macros for homing, probing, and laser offsets, which users can further tweak if they have specialized setups. Essential Tips for Users Is anyone using an automatic tool height setter?
Developed by The CNC Woodworker, the Mach3 2010 Screenset is a highly-rated replacement interface for the Mach3 machine control software. It creates a cleaner, more intuitive layout that feels like a standard Windows program, consolidating the most frequently used controls onto a single main screen with smaller tabs for specific functions. This design was created to help users make the most of Mach3, streamlining the entire CNC workflow. This is the crown jewel of the 2010 Screenset
After you secure the new cutter, the machine travels back to the fixed reference plate and probes automatically. Because the software already knows the mathematical relationship between the fixed plate and your material surface, it instantly recalculates the new Z-axis zero without requiring you to touch the material again.
Unlike general-purpose industrial screens, it was built by a woodworker (of The CNC Woodworker) to handle the specific needs of router users.
), the machine automatically pauses and moves to a designated tool-change position.
