 Still reading? Well, I’ve got a CNC converted lathe, and I found that on 
 cross-slide operation I was getting very poor results
 when going at 60mm a minute, but 50mm and 70mm were fine. I figured it was 
 just some odd resonance and resolved not to got at 60mm
 Ok, now I had to do a lot of leadscrew work and was wondering if there was 
 anything similar. So I ran at various different speeds.
 Well, 100mm a minute, fine; most up to 500mm also, but 175 Ouch. That 
 sounds bad. Really bad. The machine was shaking like a
 loudspeaker cone. And all the swarf from every single inaccessible crook and 
 granny of the lathe shook out and juddered over to
 a neat heap in the corner of the tray.

 Sweet! Makes cleaning a snap!!!

 (All I’ve got to do now is figure out if that M6 grub screw was anything 
 vital…)

Never thought that self cleaning of hardware could be a software feature. :)
