Actually the docs should/will say Cutter Diameter Compensation to avoid

Do you have a link to the example that is confusing?

The phaseperfect install guide did mention that when you need balanced

I have to assume they are out there but so far my google only turns up

I assume you could use a timing belt between the two with slightly
larger pulley on the driving motor to get the driven motor up to 1800
rpm. Do you think in addition to the rotors a flywheel is needed? And
would my "rotary phase converter" motor be strong enough to spin the
generator?

BP Cannon, now your talking!
I'm building a 1/2 scale civil war 6 pounder and it is done enough to
fire and the report is most satisfying.

Totally Off Topic
I have a retired buddy on a fixed income that loves to fly fish, in fact
that is the only way he fishes. He has a couple of wally world fly rods
that he uses and has expressed a desire to get a split bamboo rod. All I
know about fly fishing fits on a pin head... I do know more
My old Anilam 1100m which is a conversational control will "convert" a G
code file if it is simple enough and uses G codes that the Anilam can
understand. I've never tried Hieroglyphics on it though...

Good point, are there any two controls from different manufacturers that
are completely portable between each other?
I know from reading my CNC g code manuals from other machines that I
have that even generation to generation of the same controller the g
code is not portable.
You would think t
You might reference the g code manual for LinuxCNC rather than guess or
assume LinuxCNC G code is the same as some other control.

The custom part of the name is misleading and confusing and the name
IMHO should just be postgui.hal. And like Andy I believe once your basic
setup work is done in stepconf you should never run it again and make
custom changes directly to the ini and hal file.

Tom,
I use ngcgui and just fill in the blanks for length of cut. I have one
called x-trim that I just need speed and length and off I go.
Before ngcgui I just used a file called x-trim.ngc and edited the X and F.
x-trim.ngc
G20 (Units: Inches)
G40 (Cancel Cutter Comp)
G90 (Absolute Mode)
G64 P0
