"One line lookahead" is a little misleading. The limitation that Steve describes comes from the calculation of the suggested velocity for each line segment. The algorithm has the effect of clamping the machine velocity to a value from which the machine could decelerate to a controlled stop in

Gene, It looks like he used a crucible lifter to do the pour. The lifter is normally used to place the hot crucible into a pouring holder that makes it easier to tip the crucible by twisting a shank from the side instead of holding it from above. For examples see: http://www.budgetcastingsupply.c
