Dave, its a good idea to run the tests please run it for at least a day, then evaluate & report the results. i found suitable results with one and two hour tests but unnacceptable results after a day and horrible results after returning from a week trip. your hardware will vary the results of course i think not many people run the tests as long as a real cnc control is run ( forever ;) best of luck tomp ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
