Hello Andrew,
you are so right! Making large diameter (300 mm) grinding tools of large
radius of curvature (e.g. 6000 mm) was my reason to join this mailing
list. In fact, I turned some on my lathe almost 20 years ago with
steppers replacing the hand wheels and all driven by home made BASIC

Andy,
There is no reason why you cannot connect a Sata or USB CDROM drive to
your system, install the OS and then remove the CDROM drive.
Get the latest EMC2 live CD and boot the system off the CDROM drive,
then have it load the system right off the live

Hi,
The Axis gui shows a 3D view of a .ngc program, as soon as it is opened.
That's quite nice. Yet another thing that would come in handy would be
a runtime estimation for the program. Is there something like this ?
Or would it be hard to implement it ?
Bye,
Wolfgang
File/Properties... shows you runtime estimation.
I use it all the time.

Wolfgang,
that's hard to implement.
'Easy' would be if g-code just does lines and circles,
but it get's more complex with canned cycles, function calls etc...

For a while I have been thinking of something related to this -
showing (ideally - also saving to some log file) the time the file has
been running - not the remaining time, but the used time. How can I do
that?

Make sure that in the BIOS that you have enable boot from USB device
set and it is in your boot device list. Otherwise it definitely will not
work.
Hard to beat CDROM/DVD drives for loading up an OS quickly.

Nice looking! I notice that you are using the jog knob from the old
Bridgeport E control panel. Are you also using the old panel mount

The encoder is just unpowered mechanical switches giving quadrature.
I had to add pull-up resistors (well I think I pulled up - I know I added
resistors) to get it to work. If I remember right, the encoder gives 50
