The main reason why I haven't done this is that I often use the saddle
to move the tailstock back up the bed. The tailstock on my lathe is damn
heavy.

For the tailstock end the saddle is the most likely thing to hit the
tailstock so it would be in machine coordinates.
For the chuck end the tool is most likely to hit so it would have to be
machine coordinates + tool offset. I don't see any need for changes to
the tool table to do this.

I have dapper drake installed on a box I'm playing with. I see the
beta of 2.3 is for hardy heron. Is there instructions someway to
upgrade in place my version of ubuntu? I did a google search and
didn't find anything that helped.
Thanks,

I need to retrofit an old CNC Lathe machine with SIEMENS Servo Motors. The
servo drives accept +/- 10V as velocity command. My question is which of the
following combination is suitable to be used for interfacing these servos and
differential encoders.
1. MESA 7I43-P with 7I33
2. MESA 5I20 wit
Hi guys,
I'm going to bild a 3 axis Circular blade Mill and I would like to display a
circular blade tool instead of displaying the usual "cone" in the Axis
interface.
I tried to change my tool modifying the tool table but I can only change the
diameter and not the high of the tool.

I say WOW again. The scope of this is amazing. Solid models of the
machine, tools, holding devices, and workpiece in AXIS (or whatever
gui used). The realtime evaluation of all these components. again WOW
- another world entirely

would be very nice to have - lets get started :)

On Sun, M
AXIS is not really designed to show "custom" tool shapes. I think your
goal can only be achieved by modifying the source code to draw the shape
you want. In case you want to try doing this, I'll go ahead and get a bit
technical.
This is the code in the "axis" program that draws the tool -- a sha
John,
Yes, that is controlled via the 'anti-dive' settings.

This probably mainly to jeff and chris but also the other guys from emc
development.
I hust wanted to tell you guys: great job! whenever you come over here, please
be assured your cervisia is kept cool for you.
Thank you so much

Short notice, but I'm looking for a volunteer to lay out a full-color
banner for the EMC booth at NAMES (for more details on the booth and
NAMES: http://wiki.linuxcnc.org/cgi-bin/emcinfo.pl?EMC2AtNAMES).
Rab Gordon graciously sent a nice jpg of "Chips," the EMC2 mascot,
which I can forward. T
In case any of you are using the ECS goal3 Motherboard. I have the dimensions
of the mounting and tooling holes.

Sorry about doing this, but I sent a file that is incorrect. here is the
correct one.

So is mine, on my 15" Sheldon. I can just barely move either the lower
