I like the 5i24, it's a lot of pins for not much money, and I have one in my lathe. However, you should also look at the 5i25 / 7i77 combo. Also check out Pico PPMC and the General Mechatronics stuff. Both also well-supported by LinuxCNC. -- atp "A motorcycle is a bicycle with a pandemonium attachment and is designed for the especial use of mechanical geniuses, daredevils and lunatics." — George Fitch, Atlanta Constitution Newspaper, 1916 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, SlashDot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
