I have fixed it in this way: When LinuxCNC opens a Gcode file all E
statements are converted to A statements. This is done by LinuxCNC
configuration settings. I can dig out how if you are interested.

I've got an old CNC Bridgeport Vertical Mill I'm looking to upgrade. I'm
fairly sure it is a BOSS 5. It does have stepper motors on in, but haven't had
a chance to check whether they are Superiors or Sigmas motors yet. Except for
the motors, it looks exactly like this:

Chuck, a flatbed quote that I got for a partial load is $1,851. We may need
to wait a couple of days for a partial load on a flatbed to get this rate.

Gene, Antekinc.com is your best bet for torroidal power supplies in the

I hear you, but I've already got the Parker drives, they are at least as bullet
proof, and they're free in my case.
I'd rather not drop an extra $420 for the 203v drives.

The Superior Slo-Syn motors used by Bridgeport were
8 wire M112-FJ series motors wired in a 6 wire unipolar
configuration. These motors should have an inductance
of between 1 and 2 mHenry per winding and were rated
for 9 amperes in unipolar mode. This is a guess based
on their product chart for st

I might pull one of the motors off the machine and bring it into work. We have

If they were 1-2 mH in unipolar mode, then when parallel connected for bipolar
mode operation they should be closer to 2-4 mH, which is just about right.
I'll confirm this with an LCR meter.

I doubt that is the problem, but typically we "hide" a core from the
system and run all the RT stuff on that.
I don't think splitting LinuxCNC between 2 cores will help.
