If you/we ever get this to fully supported with a CNC GUI, it should be showcased. Also, we should place a bounty on some of the bugs to support this type of machine mechanisms. To bad we cannot find a dozen of them to be given off to people who solve various problems (or who can pick them cheap to retrofit). Actually, if you decrease the resolution of the picture (so that it does not take so long to load up -- and I have fiber to the house), then it would make a nice photo for the poster-child of multi-tool/multi-axis controls on a lathe. It might help get people thinking about how t to display the axes (like creating a line art version of the machine with arrows from the different axes to position indicators -- and maybe even highlight each of the axis when it is in motion)...
