Thanks for the link, Frank. I wish I were better at electronics, then I would know what this circuit does. It looks like the op-amps only have a 10kOhm resistor on their outputs, which would limit the current going in or out of the amp. This may offer current protection but maybe not

You might consider putting an emitter follower circuit at the output of your circuit. The NPN Darlington configuration might be appropriate.

2009/6/26 Kirk Wallace kwall...@wallacecompany.com: Either way, a 2n3904 is much less expensive than a DAC. One concern is, how much error will be introduced? If you use an Op-Amp as your buffer, then almost no error will be introduced and you don't need any external components. They only cost

If you take the endmill out, you won't have to change the program -- maybe there is a divide-by-zero that doesn't happen unless the tool is in the right spot. I'd try to do away with cutting most of the slots that you know work, to reduce the wait if nothing else. Looks like that can be done by
