i did check pin 40 gnd and 43 vcc with voltmeter and i could not find +5V

actually i am using breaker board that takes 50 pin connector from 7i33 and
on other end 4 db 25 connectors that fit sd 94 amplifier that i am using.

maybe some problem here in finding correct corresponding pin?

I intend to do that as well. Did you check out the Gladevcp add-on that
Nick did
http://www.linuxcnc.org/index.php/english/forum/40-subroutines-and-ngcgui/26578-linuxcnc-features-a-kind-of-ngcgui
I have it loaded but not working all the way yet but it looks to be a
great tool for lathe
I gave it a curious look but ngcgui works for me so I'm reluctant to change.

Hello,
Not sure of anyone has ever mentioned this and it is really just a small
annoyance, but I would really love it if when I edit an existing config in
stepconf that it did not overwrite the DISPLAY=XXX with DISPLAY=axis.
Or, am I just not seeing how to keep it from doing that?

I had one of these (but with the bull gear cover, and original lamp) for a

As a shaper addict, I've kept it down to just a Drummond hand shaper, but
truth be told, a CNC mill is much more fun!

Yes, and it would also make it more obvious that there are other options.

Definitely no gloves! You will bleed a lot less from a cut finger than from
the stump of a finger. Lathes or mills and gloves are a bad combination.
