1) is there a way to do manual tool touch-off during manual toolchange
in a middle of g-code file?
Not yet. I think there is enough momentum now that there will be in
the next major release.
As a user of a simple machine, I'd vote for that.

Dave,
It looks similar to that one except it also has a big blue orb on top
that is connected to each phase and to a tap on the back of the center coil.

I'll bypass that and let you know how it runs.
Thanks

Those are really good drives.. I wouldn't remove them. If your infeed
is bad you should be able to get it repaired or find a replacement.
If you still have problems I'd try it with a good generator and see if
your phase converter isn't driving the system nuts.

I did replace all the caps in the infeed a while back...
so my first test is to bypass the commutating reactor and see what that
does.
next rent a generator which will tell me if my phase converter is

Hi Everybody,
I'm new to LinuxCNC and HAL, so before configuring AXIS I wanted to test my
new card 5i25+7i77 with analog output.
For that in mind, I did the following steps,

There is a bit of talk on some machine shop forums, arguments perhaps, that
retrofitting a machine is a waste of time.
And that it's time and money well spent to just buy a good used
machine and move on with making money with it.
Any comments on this from the list?

I would like to ask, if someone can point me to some source of

I've found the older controls a giant pain in the ass to run and
LinuxCNC is a joy to run... well worth it to me to convert to gain the
improved capabilities of a modern control. Now if I just had some time

Are you talking about retrofitting LinuxCNC to a used CNC
what is this 'spare time' that you mention? i'm intrigued.

easy solution: segment the program into a sequence of files, one for each
different tool. this is similar to a slightly more tedious workaround for a
controller with limited amount of program memory.
