The Mach3 2010 Screenset is lightweight and easy to integrate into an existing Mach3 profile:

Unlike the standard Mach3 interface, which often requires manual re-zeroing for every tool change, this screenset automates the process using a two-plate system (one mobile touch plate and one fixed plate). Key Benefits of Auto Tool Zero: Initial Zeroing

With Mach4, UCCNC, and LinuxCNC gaining traction, is it wise to invest $50 (or whatever the current donation rate is) into a screenset for obsolete software?

Whether you use a (like a SmoothStepper) or a traditional parallel port ?

This routine sets the current tool offset , not the machine coordinate Z=0.

What are you running (router, mill, plasma)?

Despite newer versions of Mach3 being released, the 2010 screenset remains a beloved classic among CNC enthusiasts. Some users prefer its simplicity and familiarity over newer, more complex interfaces. Additionally, the 2010 screenset is still compatible with many older CNC machines, making it a great option for those with legacy equipment.
