I'm in Wayne co (more NE). We have the spiders too, but people really do rarely get bit by them considering how many there really are. I was a little weirded out late last summer on a dry evening after dark I was out in the yard with an LED flash light. I noticed a lot of glimmering

I have a branch somewhere that has a variable spindle speed selection incorporated into the motion Component. The variance range and period are configurable. I wanted it to use a m code or g code to set it ..it was roughly patterned after okuma's if someone wants to finish the gcode part

As for the actual topic, I see our guys constantly fiddling with the spindle speed override potentiometer, up/down/up/down when re-cutting the hardened D-2 rolls that we re-condition, it eliminates the wavy finish, similar to what you are seeing in the MDF. Rick On 05/25/2016 08:40 AM, Todd
