Re: [Emc-users] milling a crankshaft?

Thanks Andy, that helped a great deal, particularly the two formula's referring to the angle klm. If I make (Rmajor-r) the crank stroke and r the crankpin radius I think that should do nicely. Mind you, the neracar blog didn't help at all- I am now going to have to spend several (enjoyable) hours

[Emc-users] milling a crankshaft?

Whilst going through the slow process of cnc'ing my mill, I have been trying to work out how to cnc mill crankshafts on it using my rotary axis. Specifically, machining the crankpins while having the blank turning on it's main journal axis. I know the tool will have to move in both y and z axis

[Emc-users] Recommendation for XHC-HB04 pendant driver enhancement

The driver correctly synthesizes pins (and associated logic) for 'goto-zero', '=1/2' and 'zero' buttons, in addition to creating pins for the physical pendant buttons (independent of rotary switch selection). 'xhc-hb04.tcl' creates nets as appropriate, but this leads for instance to
