Anyone have experience converting a legacy woodworking machine to run on
LinuxCNC?
Thanks

Did you ask a manufacture for a custom ground cutter?
I had several end mills custom ground to my specifications by Wedco. I
only had to specify the contour shape, in my case cones with different

John, you're right about booting from the live CD. You usually don't want
to use dd to copy from a mounted (live) filesystem; since it operates at a
block level, any write activity on the source drive during the copy is
likely to produce a corrupt copy. When doing what you want to do, I usually

Argh. Got the mkdir's wrong. Here's a corrected version, no guarantees

Also, you may need to edit /etc/fstab after booting the new machine for it
to find your new swap partition. Roughly:
free # if it shows a swap size of 0, then...
sudo nano /etc/fstab # find the swap line and change /dev/whatever to
/dev/sda2
sudo swapon -a # activate the new swap
free # check

I modified this slightly so that if the number of parameters is greater than 25
(25 happen to fit nicely in the space on my monitor) it will create another
column parameters. By the way, I suspect it is very uncommon for a subroutine
to require so many parameters. All the subroutines I have fo

To clarify, you don’t need “identical” hardware. You need a disk that is the
same size or larger to clone a disk.

Just curious, I thought there was a theory that ANYTHING could be
milled with a ball mill with just two restrictions
1) the radius of the ball limits the minimum radius you can cut
2) with only 3 axis you can not cut an overhang design.

clonezillia is better for a number of reasons , it may seem complex but
you'll soon get the hang of it
the problem with using dd is it will also copy temp files, temp drive and
your uuid's to the cloned drive , amongst other things
you also dont want to be using the drive that your copying ... ( mi
I looked at Clonezilla and it seems way more complicated than using dd.
Thanks for the idea.

Hi John,
if it is a removable drive, you can just plug it in while the computer
is running in the LiveCD environment and then check in the kernel log
# dmesg | tail
which device file newly appeared. If it is not hot-plug capable, you can
try to mount one of them and (if that succeeds) check if i

Hi Philipp,
What I'm trying to do is plug in a hard drive to a working LinuxCNC
computer and make a clone of that computer to use in another PC. So it
looks like dd is the way to go for me. So dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdb
bs=1M looks like the ticket for me. Is there a fast way to tell which
