Can a wmpg-6 be converted to Wmpg-4 <Answered, yes>

Post by keithmc72 »

So long story short I returned my Cnc4pc thc and pts and got the Wmpg-6 because they did not stock the Wmpg-4. I asked them for the Wmpg-4 but all that had was the 6.

They agreed to do the swap for the mpg because we fought with Mach5 and the ess and their software for 3months with no resolution.
At that point I switched to centroid.

Is there a way to swap it for a Wmpg-4 or can it be changed by software and a new overlay attached?

The WMPG4 is no longer stocked the WMPG6 has replaced it and works fine in it place.
The installation instructions for WMPG6 can be found at:

I need the overlay for the plasma variant. Can that be purchased separately?

To my understanding you should be able to use a WMPG-6 as a WMPG-4 Plasma without any issues.
Just be sure to set it up as a WMPG-4 Plasma in the Wizard

We do have replacement overlays available.
If you'd like to purchase one contact support@centroidcnc.com to get one ordered.
Be sure to specify you want the Plasma overlay. Part# P180
