Hi,
looking through the Wiki, I saw the page about wrapped axes and thought
I would try it. So added WRAPPED=1 to ini file and started emc 2.4.6.
I then tried to issue a G90.2 or G91.2 code in the mdi panel but all I
get is an Unknown gcode used error message and also same when I put

Hi everyone,
I have changed the tool holding on my emc driven rose engine (see
http://blog.alanbattersby.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/img_0038-rose-2.jpg)
so that the tool depth direction can be set at a variable angle and not
just perpendicular to the other two axes.
So can I show this
Hi,
The emc on documentation
http://linuxcnc.org/docs/html/gcode_main.html#sub:G81:-Drilling-Cycle
shows
G81 X- Y- Z- A- B- C- R- L-
which to me indicates that it should work given C axis values. Is this
correct?

On the 2.4.1pre version of emc I compiled from source there was a menu

Just a small comment on the wiki documentation for G38.x, Add that when
using (PROBEOPEN filename.txt) the file is not automatically created by
emc (at least it seems not to on my system) so it must be created
manually beforehand. A very minor point but will save a wasted probe.

Hello everyone,
I thought that I would make a probe for my setup. My idea was to have
one fixed plate and one movable plate attached to the probe head. These
plates are initially in contact and move apart as the probe hits the
surface thus breaking contact like a switch. I built this and tested
