A potential LinuxCNC project is to build a CNC bender. The only thing I don't know how to do is the bend angle. What would be desirable is to set the bend angle in the G-code, and have it passed to a HAL module such as comp.comp, to decide when to turn the bend motor off. The bending is done by a motor/gearbox, and you just shut off the motor when the right angle is reached. So, it can't be dealt with like a typical axis. I'm pretty sure there is a way to do this, but I can't remember how.
