That's a nice setup DRO system and website you have. I was fishing for a reason to have a serial micrometer connected to EMC for a reason other than as motion feed back or axis position. For instance, to automate offset adjustments, or something like Will Ferrell said in Old School, "Maybe she's wearing something I haven't even thought of yet." -- Kirk Wallace (California, USA http://www.wallacecompany.com/machine_shop/ Hardinge HNC lathe, Bridgeport mill conversion, doing XY now, Zubal lathe conversion pending) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
