    Can Mach3 be used to this kind of machine?
    I will apply to wood.
    I am a beginer*

    Do you know how much that machine cost to build/buy, in the video , buying a 5 axes stepper kit is not going to do what that machine is doing, Mach3 could run it with a Smooth Stepper Board, how do you plan to build the machine, you need to plan that part then look at what to drive it with, the Kit which I did not look at, may be a completely wrong choice, Plan the machine first, do a search for 5 axes simultaneous software for making your programs, this also may be a deciding factor also, for building a 5 axes machine

    Design a 5 axes machine, build it as a 3 axes to start with, then add the other 2 axes as you get more experience with your CNC machine
