Re: [Emc-users] I am gonna need more wire.

Gene, guess I'm kinda late here, but I paint just about every bit of iron I can get my hands on with Valspar Tractor and Implement Enamel, its great stuff but comes in limited colors. However, it is possible to mix the various stock colors to get just about any color imaginably. Its pretty cheap

If you cant find caps and plugs disposable foam ear plugs or pieces there of can be used in a pinch to keep paint getting in holes it is not wanted in. On 17-03-05 04:50 PM, Gene Heskett wrote: > On Sunday 05 March 2017 19:40:44 andy pugh wrote: > >> On 6 March 2017 at 00:19, Gene Heskett

Greetings all; I cleaned the apron up after machining holes for some pushbuttons, washed it up with alky, and gave it a coat of some primer magic that claimed to be etchant and primer. Recoat time was 10 minutes or 48 hours, so I gave it 2 coats. Let it dry long enough to go get some

[Emc-users] axis position cmd lost

I lost axis 1 the y axis the "position-cmd" and can't figure out how it get from the gui to the axis. axis.1.free-pos-cmd, axis.1.motor-pos-cmd and axis.0.joint-pos-cmd are always zero while it works for the other axis XZA. Anybody have an idea how the signal from the GUI reach axis? Regards
