[Emc-users] Unified Build/ "new RTOS" work: general availability for testing

We're happy to announce the "Unified Build" branch for general testing. This branch has been in limited preview for a while, and numerous positive reports have come in, so we think it is good to go for wider evaluation. We consider this a merge candidate for the 2.6 release. In a nutshell:

The idea is that the penguin himself signifies Linux. The micrometer signifies machining. And the hammer is for "fixing" the computer. On Mon, Sep 2, 2013, at 07:08 PM, Gregg Eshelman wrote: > On Mon, 9/2/13, John Thornton wrote: > > Subject: Re: [Emc-users] name of Linuxcnc mascot > To: "Kle

I've used a special bearing grease designed for spindle.s I have no seals on mine, just a few dust rings at the bottom to keep the dust out. I put new bearings in about 8 years ago and the machine works daily. Never touched it since then. One article said that if berarings were assembled in a p

[Emc-users] Spindle Lubrication

The spindle of my milling machine has a plate that specifies Vitrea oil 72 for the gears but Alvania Grease 3 for the bearings. I suspect that the top bearing needs grease because there is no prospect of it getting enough oil by splash. I further suspect that the bottom bearing needs grease becau

Anyone good at putting LINUX CNC where EMC is on Tux so we can get a new 'official logo'. I am sure EMC Corp takes exception to this too. Since they seem to claim those initials even though they came from a US Federal Govt project. (Yes, I still feel a bit bitter over the forced name change, but
