I did a git clone to a local directory emc-dev as per the example in the
online manual.
So now I have clone of the online repository on my PC. I do an "sudo
apt-get remove emc2" to remove my existing live CD install of Hardy
Heron EMC2.
I run the compile as per the

You can use Engineers' Blue in two ways, but most economical is
transfer-on not rub-off. I am not sure there is

I've been in the process of setting up a new machine and have been
running into a "Following Error" while jogging and while running
g-code. After doing some experimentation with the FERROR and

running, I think I have an understan

I believe the optimum stuff is "Stuart's Micrometer Blue" as that is
specifically designed for the job of scraping-in machine slides.
It is densely pigmented grease and about as messy as that

Actually, good point. You can't make a silk purse from a sow's ear.
Far better to buy a proper machine tool to convert, then when you have
finished you can sell the toy lathe.

Are you sure it is thicker? Mine just had more paint on the bearing
surface for the hold-down plates at that end

Yes, I have my stuff in separate hal files and linked in too like the joystick

risk it. The ini and hal files are pretty natural for me to edit directly
anyway and I like knowing emc under the hood.
