A number of my recent clients have gone with ELS to replace the CNC computer as they were having problems with LATHE working on CNC. The ELS and to a lesser extent the DivisionMaster provide quick fixes for people who have been happy with change wheels and dividing plates, but now find the setting up and remembering counts is resulting in less enjoyment and a quick fix such as an electronic gear box helps them to keep active. Now I have been involved in electronics for 50 years programming initially on magnetic and punched cards but hand coding assembly code when qthe single chip processors came out, and *I* am having trouble working out how to put together an ELS Super even just for my own use .. -- Lester Caine - G8HFL ----------------------------- Contact - http://lsces.co.uk/wiki/?page=contact L.S.Caine Electronic Services - http://lsces.co.uk EnquirySolve - http://enquirysolve.com/ Model Engineers Digital Workshop - http://medw.co.uk Rainbow Digital Media - http://rainbowdigitalmedia.co.uk ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 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
