I purchased an Intelitek Super Prolight 1000 CNC mill and initially retrofit it with a Mach3 Controller. I enjoyed using my CNC lathe with the Masso G3 Touch controller so much, that I decided to ditch the Mach3 and put the Masso controller on this machine also. While making the switch, I decided to go ahead and do a host of other upgrades, including: building an enclosure, wiring up a 4th and 5th axis trunion table, adding a hand-wheel pendant controller, adding a mist coolant system, adding a spindle clamp release button, adding a tool height setter, and wiring up a touch probe. This has turned out to be a really incredible machine and I can't wait to use it in upcoming projects!
