Hi All, Wondering if there is a preference to G73 or G83 for drilling and clearing chips (which I think I want to do for aluminum drilling). http://linuxcnc.org/docs/html/gcode/gcode.html#sec:G73-Drilling-Cycle http://linuxcnc.org/docs/html/gcode/gcode.html#sec:G83-Drilling-Peck Thanks, Mark ---

Beautiful lathe Andy and quite a heavy one! We have two big hydraulic tracer lathes (one weights almost 1 kg and the other 5000 kg) that are waiting for a LinuxCNC conversion. The challenge is that these have to be modified to have the perpendicular way since now it's angled to suit the copyin

Hey Andy - reading your web page - Ok - the Emco Compact-8 was the one copied extensively overseas. It was made in Austria originally. The Compact-8 is approx 8" diameter swing and 18" between centres. The Asian 7x lathes are NOT equivalent, and are NOT copies of the Emco Compact-8. Some of the 9x
