For certain classes of work you dont need special kinematics, I have been cutting gears for clocks on a mill with stacked A on B, I hand craft the gcode though, as it happens to suit the work I do. Dave Caroline On Tue, May 3, 2011 at 12:57 AM, Steve wrote: > I am interested in adding a trunnio

2011-05-02 Thread Steve
I am interested in adding a trunnion and rotary table to my existing machining center. The frame is excellent but the control is dead so I was thinking about using EMC2. Is there someone out there that has a successful running machine that I could talk to and get me going? Also is creating the k
