Gene, that’s very odd behavior. My machine isn’t homed (still just working on
basic tuning) when I’m doing my tests and your behavior sounds similar. I
wonder if we could determine the reason for this difference in behavior.

Try opening the tool table from the drop-down menu. I forget which drop down
it is. Then you can modify the offsets manually.

I have some older meanwell supplies which are actively cooled. In those units,
the fans run all the time. But I’d imagine that their newer models would
implement fan control to save a bit of power and reduce noise.

To Andy's point, it will work, it's just a matter of lots and lots of passes.
For instance, see
http://neme-s.org/Shaper%20Books/Michael_Moore/shaper%20gear%20cut.pdf for how
it can be done on a metal shaper with a rack form tool. There is no need for
an undercut. The same basic method could

Well, if the drives are adequately protected, which I'm sure they are, it
wouldn't hurt to hook them up and try ...

Andy,
If you are familiar with metal shapers, these are commonly used work holders to
enable planing the entire top surface of a workpiece. They are essentially a
four sided shape. The jaw side and the bottom side are square, with the
workpiece side angled at about 2 degrees from the jaw side
I have an Atlas 7" shaper -- far superior to my 10" lathe. It's almost
exclusively made of cast iron, and quite sturdy. I enjoy using it to square up
workpieces as it is easy to use and sometimes programming MDI codes in the mill
just isn't worth the trouble for odd jobs. I have been working

How did you fit the knee motor? I'm considering it myself but looking for some
more details. I figure I'd have to mount knee limits on both ends of travel,
and figure out how to fix the motor.
