Not entirely worthless, you could still use if for closed-loop spindle speed control. This actually makes some sense with a geared head like the Bridgeport. My mill has two gears, but it doesn't matter which one I engage, EMC2 still gets the right spindle speed as long as it is within the speed range of the selected gear. I have considered adding a couple of LEDs (physical or pyvcp) to indicate when I would be better off in a higher or lower gear. -- atp ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
