Hi John,
1) Consider the right handed coordinate system carefully when reading the MSM mill-turn manual. Think hard about what the Y offset numbers will need to be with the lathe tools on the...
Hi Terry,
It's possible to connect multiple "probe input" devices to the single logical probe input pin that mach knows about. The trick is to deal with a combination of "active high" and active...

Hi,
Have you ever wanted some CNC lathe parts, but don’t have a CNC lathe? Yet you do have a CNC mill?

Thanks Scott - that should do nicely.

Hi,
Is there a way to tell NCPlot when it starts what machine configuration to use?
I have gcode for both mills and lathes - so when I invoke NCPlot programatically, and pass the gcode file...
Curtis,
First I'll have to say that I'd not have used a Kurt PowerLock if I had to buy one retail ($700+), but I fell into a deal for mine ($40). :cheers:

Hi,
In my experience, a network runs fine with mach.
However, since you asked, ;) there is one thing, directly related to the use of ethernet network adapters, which I know of that **could**...

Charlie,
When reading your post, it sounded as if your desire was to make use of a probe rather than have to roll your own software. If you'd prefer a software package wich already integrates...

Jeff,
The mouse movement impacting RPM is a bit worrisome - that sounds to me like there is some interaction happening in the PC at the low level which is impacting mach. If the PC has on board...
