    problem is it wont let me pick that top line. I designed the profile and extruded it. Seems like I may be missing a step to let the lines be chosen individually.

    I still keep the original boxes and refill the organizers when they get low. Just keep the one-offs in a separate container and check there last.

    End mills not the best for a smooth finish, a fly cutter or multi-carbide surface finisher will give you better results. You might try locking the z axis during the cut as well.

    I would like to do both. I thought mach3 will vary the speed once the min and max are input. Not as accurate as an encoder but should be close enough. I'm just interested in what to wire where to get...

    Don't forget that the G540 can also CNC control your spindle speed with only a few wiring connections.

    CR.
    Can you elaborate on how to do this with the X2. Which wires go where? Thanks
  20. Thanks again

    Ok I think I got it now.
    On the Gecko G540 manual, in the suggested wiring diagram, it specifies a Relay power supply with two dc relay coils. Do I need that? What is that for? They connect to pins...

    Yes thats the rotary table. Love the tapping attachment. Guess I will need a C10 board from cnc4pc to control another stepper motor.
