Don't forget to add a spindle speed after the spindle direction.

Which of these machines can be powered by single phase? P6, VM15, VM16

Alright guy's, been doing quite a bit more machining with the VKM4. Getting the hang of it.
Question- Most of my machining is of Cast alum. Facing, pocketing and profiling. Like to take .25 deep...

ZZZZ,
I have SLS CNC 6.3147

Is there a easy way to get a newer version? That supports subroutines and more functions?

You are correct with that part, but that only works for the first row, I want the second row to be overlapping in the x and y direction by 1/2 a hole and also for anymore rows.

Thanks.
I hear ya on the manual tool changes. Trying to limit how many I do.
