I think so, but I have yet to observe a damaged thread because of it. However, I'd also recommend a g64p0.001 in the code just to make me feel better. The curvature of the knee at l2 retract is affected and that can be seen with enough magnification. IOW, it is not a show stopper. Changing the spindle speed in the middle of the g76 run creates far larger problems. > > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >-------- 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 Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
