Nice! A couple of questions. As you are facing the spindle speeds up and down. So I take it you are tracking diameter to maintain the same SFM. But then when you start turning the spindle is slowed down. So the question I guess is if you start facing at say 1" diameter with 1000 RPM would you not also turn at 1000 RPM? Or am I missing something? John _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
