What type of interface Kirk?  I intend to use a pwmgen, which would 
update its analog equ at the servo rate, normally at 1 KHz.  If thats a 
problem, coming out from zero radius where the first 1/8 would be a 
pretty large & fast slowdown, I think I would look at it as a windup in 
the PID caused by the 2500 rev limit, and would try to apply the usual 
suspects fixes for a windup condition.  I've had symptoms of that show 
up in my testing speed changes while looking for the best pid response, 
and had to reduce the IGain if the speed chnage commands were too close 
together in time.

FWIW, at one point, experimentaly, I ran the servo thread at 4kilohertz 
on my toy (7x12) lathe, which stabilized it quite a bit, but it also 
made that D525MW motherboard work pretty hard. I did finally wind up 
back at 1KHz with some pid settings that were to me, pretty phenominally 
stiff.  That was after I had cobbled up the hal stuff to use the 
weighted average of the last 4 encoder edges going by, cutting the 
cyclic encoder noise by a /4 factor.  That helped considerably, so when 
I was configuring the .hal on the mill, I imported that glop of code and 
re-used it.

The only time I've noted the mill slowing due to load was when trying to 
tap a 10mm hole with a g33.1 wrapped in a peck cycle.  But to do that 
safely, I have got to figure out a way to get a better grip in the tap 
shank, it was slipping even with a 10" handle extension on the chuck key 
handle!  But nobody seems to make one with a square drive.  Theres a 
different std drive square size for every tap & no two tap makers use 
the same table.

Another potential fix might be to use a lower maxvel for the x, its total 
range might be only 15% of the z travel. I've used css, but usually in 
terms of turning, as opposed to faceing.

I find it isn't as easy to calibrate & use well unless the tool table is 
very accurate, something mine is not due to a lack of sufficient qc tool 
holders.  Thats my fault of course and I get a couple more everytime I 
order parts from Larry, but I don't have half enough of those yet.

Cheers, Gene Heskett
