Your not on your own John!! EMC, or should I now say LCNC, is written and annotated by Linux gurus who unfortunately think everyone is at the same guru level as them! Beware - of these gotcha's No jog in feedhold! - So don't break an insert or get a swarf ball around a tool!!! Taper thread pitches are measured along the hypotenuse ??? There are others, but those are two show stoppers for me... I only use EMC, or whatever you want to call it, for turning jobs where screw cutting is involved, everything else I do with a really old version of Mach. Credit where credit's due - Parallel screw cutting is flawless. Unfortunately any changes to EMC only happen if you can do it yourself even when you can prove it's sensible or Industry standard. Committee member ego's seem to overrule standards or common sense. Explains really why it's still a niche application with so few users...
