Both the link and the photo arrived here ok. And thats the same as I get here, the tool points at the centerline of the X axis and rotates around that imaginary point. I've gotten more or less used to it, but its not natural to to me either, As for the question, I've always treated it independently as I've mounted my little 4" table I motorized all 3 ways, On both mills but it has always been XYZA in the .ini file as I rarely have made a simultaneos move. I just drove it to where I wanted it, like in 90 degree jumps when I was making tap hats, drilling and tapping 4 holes for 4 grub screws to grab the flats of a tap. I did do a circular engrave once but was not impressed with the font and didn't waste any more material. So I can't offer any magic incantations, sorry. > > -----Original Message----- > > From: Sam Sokolik [mailto:[email protected]] > > Sent: March-30-21 4:05 PM > > To: Enhanced Machine Controller (EMC) > > Subject: [Emc-users] Rotary axis preview (in axis interface) > > > > Has anyone done work on the preview for a 4th axis mounted on the > > table?
