this is interesting and although off the lathe subject it makes me consider this. I am intending to run the knee and the spindle down feed independently of each other when I convert to 5 axis, so this begs me to question will I have to rename the spindle down axis and then g code around it? Not urgent but some thoughts for me in the future -- jeremy youngs ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
