The fix was temporary, I had been watching it while fineing up the size 
of the bolt hole thru a block of alu, thinking it ought to be big enough 
for the bolt (it was) but something happen inside the motor doghouse 
just as I slid the feed override to 0.

I keep forgetting to re-engage the backgear, so the pid spins the motor 
wide open when the spindle doesn't turn, so I had put a 100 millisecond 
timer, retriggerable, netted to shut the motor drive off again by 
disabling the machine if an encoder pulse has not been rx'd within the 
timeout.  And thats where I am.  So I've got to wrestle the wheeled  
toolbox its sitting on, back out of its cubby hole, and uncover the 
doghouse to see whats happened.  I've had so much alu swarf flying 
around I will not be surprised to find a curly bit of it someplace its 
not supposed to be.

But Easter Sunday dinner awaits, by baby felt like doing some of the 
cooking today.

Cheers, Gene Heskett
