I have it running my Bridgeport, and have made a good pile of parts with it. I have had a few places where the behavior on certain things related to fixture offsets has required changes in the part programs from EMC1, but I have been watching for that. I also have run my minimill quite a bit, mostly working on spindle sync issues, which are now resolved. I have had no surprises since changing to EMC2 last February. > > What mechanisms are in place to prevent a user from unloading any/all modules > while a system is live & running ? > What mechanisms are in place to prevent somebody from smashing the computer with a hammer, or cutting cables while it is running? At least with my boards, the watchdog timer will put it in E-stop in a few milliseconds.
