Gentlemen,
I forgot to mention how we were able to get the hard drive to work. We set
it upside down and it began working.

Stuart - you're not crazy - at this point it doesn't look like

I have a feeling that backlash is much less of an issue with a lathe
then with a mill, as the cutting forces practically never reverse
during a cut. Trus
It is a much better idea than what I considered originally, but YES
SIR this is very much along (and further along) the lines of my
original thinking.

John, if you do not mind, a couple of questions.
How much did you pay for the CHNC
and
How hard was the retrofit. Was it all about pushing wires and computer
setup (like it was with my mill, sans encoder mounting), or did you
have to do a lot of precision machining and parts fitting? Did you
reu
Yep, I will definitely try it, thanks Andy.
I would really love to see a small improvement of EMC capabilities
that would allow people to create packaged G code libraries. The
capability is searching through a load PATH.
