If the K-flop gives me great look ahead and reliability during long machining operations with large code, then this something I want to pursue as well.
I'm currently not using probes or really a lot of features that I should be using, maybe I don't need too. My main concern is consistency between set-up jobs, tool changes etc.
For instance, you wrote your own software...for me, I do not want to do this nor am I capable of doing it. So I'd like to continue to use Mach3 as the interface just with better hardware configured in my cabinet and without actually causing more problems.
Thanks all and again, sorry to hi-jack this thread.
