Hi Manfredi,
Thanks for the suggestions. 1, 2 and 3 are easy to do 4 might take a bit.
I didn't even think about M3 as I have big red and black buttons on my
CNC mill to start the spindle LOL...
I like the Feedrate label better.
I just assumed that if your facing a part that the highest point would be
at Z0.000... What situation would you need to clear something? Just trying
to understand why this is needed... Easy to do none the less. I had that in
mind
for pockets but didn't think it was needed for facing...
I like the images idea. If someone has some good looking images that would
work and are not commercial images I'd try and include it. Otherwise it might
take me a while to make those changes if I have to make images too...
Thanks so much for taking the time to make these suggestions.
