I purchased an Intelitek Prolight Turning Center with the intent to retrofit a Mach3 Controller. I finished the initial retrofit and discovered that the particular Mach3 controller I purchased didn’t support an encoder. After researching viable controller options, I learned that they were all going to require a PC with an ethernet port, which I didn’t have. So I instead went with the all-in-one Masso G3 Touch controller.

Mach3 CNC Controller (I wouldn’t recommend this controller. In both instances that I’ve used it, it appears to be poorly designed and have a safety concern where it powers the spindle on if the USB cable is not plugged into 5V.): https://amzn.to/3tYv8Vf
