I've got 90 line files that take 3 days to run, sharpening a carbide tipped table saw blade. Shapest blade I ever had on that tablesaw too. Output from eagle and pcb2gcode are huge 100,000 + lines of code affairs because it has no looping, everything is "unrolled". Longest files of gcode I've ever run. I'm to slow in my advanced years to grok how to run a cad/cam and make usable code, its easier to just write it myself. > > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >-------- Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's > most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot > _______________________________________________ > Emc-users mailing list > Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net > https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
