I don't recall doing any metalwork on the g0704 before I converted it. So much of the metal cutting code has a last finishing pass thats climb cut, written as a separate loop. Even then its first major project was furniture, cuttin out and carving the green & green style big box joints for a series of blanket chests. In fact I cut out the first one with the hf mill and while I did get it done, that mill took way too long and several setups just to do one board, the impetus to buy the g0704 in the first place. I need to move the assembly of the last of those into the house and get them finished before I miss roll call. I am out of woodworking room in the garage. > > _______________________________________________ > 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.
