Hi Jim, I recently retrofitted a Kasuga knee mill that fits your description right down to the Microsoft networking capability. I have already documented my conversion in this forum, and you can search for "Successful Emc2 conversion (happy dance...)" or "Kasuga" or "kestreltom" to get a better idea of the particulars. (The Hurco KM3P was one mill that I was considering for retrofit.) Proposal: If you can find an EMC post for your Microsoft CAM software, why not pastebin or post a sample cut (.ngc) file that fits your target requirements? I would be willing to massage it to run on my machine (cutting air) and see what kind of feedrates I can achieve and report the findings here. That kind of information might be useful to a lot of people. What do you think?
