Keith,

Can you say what the Pro & Ultimate software feature/capability upgrade sets are over the baseline plasma software, or breakpoints still TBD?
Looking forward to this release!

Thanks!
Michael

Plasma Pro is very similar to Router Pro

Ultimate will have Built in Intercon Plasma software (conversational programming for plasma parts), and Teach mode (semi automatic digitizing of part shapes and some other goodies.

as usual CNC12 software updates will be free for some time as we add features going forward.

I might be interested in replacing the WinCNC controls on my Shop Sabre plasma.. Keith, do you have a budgetary price for the THC, etc.

I'm currently beta testing the Acorn THC on my ShopSabre Sidekick 10 as I type this and I'm loving it over the old WinCNC setup. :mrgreen:

I have a Sidekick 8 still in the build process. Should be here mid January. I am already sure I will want to replace WinCNC.

Keith- maybe Shop Sabre will use your control!?

if you guys ask them to! send them an email/phone call etc... every time i approach an oem they slam the door in my face like i'm a carpet salesman... :roll: they only seem to come around when you guys (their customers) ask for their machine but with an Acorn on it.
