    Has anyone tried Phlat to make gcode files for use in mach3?

    The Gcode prodcued by SketchUcam will work on 'anything', Mach3, LinuxCNC, GRBL, TinyG, Fanuc, Haas, RZNC, Planet-CNC are some I know of, and there no doubt are others.

    The reason for this is is that it uses only the most basic commands, G0 for rapids, G1 for cuts, G2 and G3 for arcs.
    And that is all, no canned cycles like G81 hole drilling are used, since not everything supports canned cycles.

    So, yes, it will work just fine with Mach3 (-:
