The Fusion 360, Onshape, Alibre, Openscad, Freecad (surely not?) discussion, challenge. Got me thinking so I searched: https://hackaday.io/project/163953-crossed-helical-gears-in-openscad https://github.com/chrisspen/gears Libraries for a CAD program? Cool. Martin

Re: [Emc-users] where can I find

A 1.5 mm ER collet will not close down 0.040", the latter will not fit in a 1.0 mm. Solution? A 3/64" ER-32 collet will collapse to hold 0.040", at least it works that way with the ER-16s I have. Maritool has them, it will run you $22.34 plus shipping plus tax, they take PayPal if that

I understand what you are trying to do, John, and it doesn't work quite like the Windows world that Mach 3/ Mach 4 live in. In the interests of not reinventing the wheel Path Pilot is available from Tormach for ~ $25, here: https://www.tormach.com/store/index.php?app=ecom=prodshow=38249 This

Re: [Emc-users] Lazarus cross platform tools for LinuxCNC

Hi John Interesting project. Have you looked at Tormach's Path Pilot to see if it has any of the conversational features you are trying to achieve? Martin Just a quick note about the hole boring program I ported from C command line to Lazarus Pascal GUI.

Re: [Emc-users] ConFusion 360

Sure, the way Microsoft has "educated" the world, people are only buying (leasing) their "OS" (or more likely buying a machine with their OS installed) because it runs a particular application they need or want to use. MS DOS was something that they bought from somebody else inexpensively (it

This is kind of OT the subject matter, but this person has an interesting setup (lathe only). Briefly, a Mac mini running the design software (self written) which is networked to a headless cnc computer running on (I think) an atom, and it's all controlled from a home built pendant running on
