Keep in mind that the PC power supply most likely isn't the only power supply on a CNC machine. Steppers or servos have their own power supplies, and the spindle gets power from somewhere (maybe just AC line voltage through a relay). Your "main disconnect" should turn everything off. It doesn't have to be fancy. Regards, John Kasunich ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The NEW KODAK i700 Series Scanners deliver under ANY circumstances!
