If they stop the carriage, let you wind out the cut, then reverse to a fixed point, then that can work. If they release the nut and leave you to wind the carriage back, then it can't engage the nut unless you wind back to exactly the same spot every time (or the nut will drop into the wrong tooth-gap, or no tooth-gap at all) -- atp If you can't fix it, you don't own it. http://www.ifixit.com/Manifesto ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by Windows: Build for Windows Store. http://p.sf.net/sfu/windows-dev2dev _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
