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.
