[Emc-users] Cutting tool fingernail style need

2016-02-19 Thread Gene Heskett
Greetings all; I am not haveing any luck finding one smaller than 3/8 radius, and I need one that cuts with a 1/8" radius. Any body know of a place I might be able to source one that small? A fingernail bit is not quite a beading bit as the ends of the cutters are at a 90 degree angle to each

I just discovered Pyngcgui. I’ve been using standalone ngcgui for a while. Little nits about it’s UI have always driven me crazy. Mostly that if my cursor drifts out of the tiny box when entering values it loses focus. I was wishing there was a python version and google told me it was

I'm very intrigued by these Inductosyns. I assume the several hundred mA drive is an AC waveform. What frequency is used? Obviously an amplifier is needed for the drive side. Do you also need an amp on the sense side? These appear to be two-phase (quadrature). Aren't resolvers generally
