Hi Tom,

Sorry I thought I'd replied to this nearly a year ago :S Apologies.

I have had CSS working without a problem. But given the high low gearshift from 400-500rpm I tend not to use it. Going forward I will probably code it so the minimum allowable speed when using CSS is 550rpm. Therefore avoiding the gear change. I might need help with this at a later stage.

As per, the lathe is operating perfectly and is in use nearly everyday still. It doesn't owe me a penny, and we now have a man full time running it and the manual lathes.

I've just had a job come in for 300 custom shafts, each of which has an M12 threaded hole in the end. As of yet I haven't used rigid tapping, just G32 for single pointing threading regularly. Does Kmotion CNC support rigid tapping? If so, how do I go about implementing this?

Thanks,
Jim
