    Hey Keen,
    If possible, please add some closeup pictures of the R8 Arbor/Backing Plate/ER 20 Collet Chuck/5" Lathe Chuck.

    Do you use a CAM program/post or is this all hand written code?

    Thanks!

    Hi Andrew. Ok I will get on to that.

    So far I am using mostly hand written code - but remember it not so scary because you can evolve it in mid air, save that code file, and start your next job with that, and just edit it. Mostly it is just simple X Z commands.
