Usually takes someone who wants the feature bad enough to program it. or add it to feature request and wait till the feature is thought to have wide enough appeal. for instance when my lathe is fininshed I want a mirror feature so I can program the rear turret the same as the front turret- I will probably have to do that myself (I am sure I will need advice of course) as not alot of people have twin turrets... > > I am contemplating using EMC on my next lathe retrofit.
