I have "cheated" since almost day one on my toy mill. I bought the deluxe, all hand controls version of the PMDX-106, putting it AND the motor controller out of the mills head in one big black project box. So my control of the spindle speed and direction is a switch flip and a knob turn. Whats not to like? For a quick cut, flip the switch and jog, while LinuxCNC is alive and enabled so the jog keys work. . > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "andy pugh" <[email protected]> > To: "Enhanced Machine Controller (EMC)" > <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, January 23, 2015 > 12:27:58 PM > Subject: Re: [Emc-users] Manual Mill Setup Question > > On 21 January 2015 at 07:39, Mark Johnsen <[email protected]> wrote: > > Chris - You proposed simply leaving LinuxCNC in 'machine off' mode > > going to the GS2 VFD and operating it manually.
