And like you, either they can't write code that will do all that in one swell foop, or there was something wrong from the gitgo that I still haven't spotted. That was also one honking big machine. I have not figured out what the piece bouncing around in the plate attached to the bottom of the motot to supply an anchor for the shaft lock. It should be in or out, not bouncing around like a loose horseshoe.
I discounted the idea originally because of the cost of all those gears, and the ER32 nuts too. Very well built, way too well built IMO. If I build it with a swing arm so it can stay off the table, I might consider such a set of relay gears to rotate the socket. But that also would use up 1.5" of vertical move room this 6040 doesn't have to spare. No way could I swap 2 drill bits half that long with the travel I have. But with good driver code, it could work well on a machine you've already spent 10G's on. > It's very slow because they were just testing out, and there's no > follow up video either..

Turns out the factory defaults place the frequency breakpoints for a 3 point curve so low they have no effect at usable revs. Nice way to keep a lid operator from burning up his motor, or the VFD, in the first 30 minutes. Usefull settings TBD, but its progress. Thanks & take care Rolland. Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
