Good morning all.
I have a 4 axis setup from CandCNC (servo DTHC iv ethercut) and was wondering if there is a plate marking (air operated engraver) or something similar to mark plate or eventually rotary jobs. In the post processor it does have the marker as part of the post. Any insights would be greatly received.

The post processor is set up to handle a plate marker. You need to make up some form of attachment for the marker and you need to use a spare output in Mach to trigger it. A common mounting setup is to use a small pneumatic slide that moves down when the marker is activated. This video demonstrates how it works https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ozsbYjIfv8
