Since we are a wood shop, and don't have any real metal working capabilities I didn't really consider it a viable option. I believe that the manufacturer has redesigned the drive train since these were built, due in part to our input. We plan to retrofit, at our next rebuild. Todd Zuercher

I don't think it's that simple, Kent. I do not recall having any realtime delays or errors when I was using a USB microscope camera on a D510MO with LinuxCNC. My experience may not be of much value, though, as I was using a 7I43 with hardware step generation, so I only had a servo thread. For

I have just bought a few of these, out the box (LCNC 2.4.3 and 2.5) I am getting jitter in the 5000ns range, are you saying that without the hyper threading turned off, the jitter is really much higher? I haven't connected a motor to see test it and I don't get any RT errors while playing.
