>You do nice work! That he does! That fix for the gearbox problem took some original thinking, and that is a very admirable solution. The square broaching is one of those things that emc, hooked up to the lathe, could do on an overnight basis I'd imagine. Not having my teeny lathe rigged yet, I might have locked the mill spindle with the tool in it, and mounted the workpiece on my rotary table and wore out my new Z drive which can push to 150 lbs. Same cut 3 more times by rotating the table 90 degrees & do again. When the table hits 270, rewind it & move the x a thou, repeat. Lights optional. Napping instead of sweating seems like a great idea. ;-) >David > >Martin Pinkston wrote: >> Good morning list, >> I am in the process of changing over an old Centroid CNC3 controller >> (linked to a mini mill) to the EMC2 set up. >> I have read up to ch8 in the users manual.
