    That's awesome. I was reading the other day on the lube pump. I think it was on one of the first pages of one of the boards on the LinuxCNC forum...maybe just a HAL post. I will keep an eye out for your post or if you don't mind maybe you could put a link here for me. Thanks for answering all my questions.

    I have 2 weeks from today until I pick mine up. Can't wait to tear into it. Thought I would have it by now but at least I have time to get things sorted.

    I plan to turn on my pump only when any axis is moving. I do a lot of 'cutting air' with the spindle off. Since the lubricant is for the ways and screws, it seems better to lube when they are used. I have a 'brain' for MACH3 that turns on a port when any axis is moving. I can also do it with hardware if I wanted, my drivers light an LED when they are receiving motion pulses.
