I remember a customer bumping a geneva gear tool changer
using the side of the platen that held the electrode
bumpint would index the tool
he used gcode on a Fanuc/Elox sink edm.
yeah i suppose a machine tool _is_ an expensive motor
but shows people are clever

Quite a clever idea for machines with closed controllers and no easy
way to provide motor power into the workspace.
With LinuxCNC it's probably always going to be better to be fully
motorised.
I'd have to agree Andy. I need to design a disk brake for my A axis
as there's half a degree of slop in the worm drive which if it gets to
the motor will be held, but the slop in the worm makes for sloppy
looking holes, but the activation method is still in my head. Even
that is only important when drilling a hole for the handle. I'll come
up with something.
Cheers, Gene Heskett.
