Within the Y table motion limits, no. An if one motorizes the indexer, and knows his math better than I do, even that limit may vanish. But it would involve actively driveing the indexer in sync with everything else. And that, using the indexer as the helix generator, would be difficult with std cutters as the top of the tooth would get cut too narrow. Easier by far on a cnc'd shaper with the motorized indexer. I don't personally know how to do it only that in the hands of a creative mind ONLY the machine mechanics determine what you cab do, linuxcnc has no limits. > > -----Original Message----- > > From: James Isaac [mailto:whirl...@live.com] > > Sent: May-22-20 8:26 AM > > To: Enhanced Machine Controller (EMC) > > Subject: Re: [Emc-users] Face Milling > > > > Hello John. > > > > You have a better mill than I do. > > > > Within > > > <http://www.autoartisans.com/mill/Mill_CNC%3chttp:/www.autoartisans. > >com/mill/Mill_CNC> > > www.autoartisans.com/mill/Mill_CNC<http://www.autoartisans.com/mill/ > >Mill_CNC> , I noticed RS522. > > Since the predecessor networking protocol was RS485, and wondering > > if the RS522 was a mis spelled RS422, I googled RS522. > > > > /(Start of dream application) > > Did you put an RFID chip on all of your cutters and drills? > > /(End of dream application) Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
