I would like to get the A axis to lock on to my rotary table center line. I have upgraded to LinuxCNC/Axis 2.5.0 and the A axis is still locked on to the X axis machine position, G53. The INI line I am using is GEOMETRY = AXYZ. When I set the part position to be on the center line of the rotary ta

Hello, I just got myself a Mitutoyo 192-002 touch probe but didnt get any manuals with it. I was thinking on trying to modify the 8-pin connector on the probe to my CNC that support a 24v probe port. Anyone have any idea on the electrical of this to modify it for my CNC? Thanks, Sam. ---

Using brushless motors is unnecessary as far as noise is concerned, the noise comes from the gears. Cheapest solution: use a € 1.50 chicken grill motor for 1.5 volts and give it 5 volts, so it will turn a litle faster (Hendlspieß, if you know what I mean) and it has plenty of torque. Peter Am
