IMO not much John, Thanks. I've been using FF to check things in the newest html as I work, but whats missing is stuff I might be doing that isn't covered so I've invented the lugs nuts I need. No big deal, we all have to make those parts. :) There is some ambiguity in language, but that seems unavoidable when trying to be concise, and a few re-reads generally, or a question on IRC, will clear it up for me. The biggest confusion to me yet is that even though the machine is in absolute movement mode, G2/3 moves are still made relative to where it starts from, and that is a translation in concept that I have a hard time wrapping this aged brain around. It would help me if there were some examples of the variable pre use calculations needed to properly arrive at the correct i/j/k values needed to go from y=3.111 to y=5.09 with x fixed at 4.33 for a 180 rounded curve on the end of something. I fought with that for several days while trying to do that cocking handle in brass 2 weeks back. Cheers, Gene -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
