Hi Gene,
Truly a matter of how we use our tools and how often.
I have a PCB touch plate for my MACH3 JGRO style CNC router. Had to modify
some example code for the button on the screen including a couple of
reminder dialogs to make sure (really sure) that I attached/removed the clip

Thanks Jon,
After having used steppers for so long seeing one of the .nc sample files
move the servo in such a silky smooth motion is really sweet.
I did manage to get everything working and not only timed a 120ipm jog but
the pulley actually turned the correct distance too.

Thanks for the reply Andy,
The Machine Kit forums give the impression that for any LinuxCNC type questions
these forums are the place to ask and only Machine Kit specifics are addressed
on those forums. All very confusing. I was hoping there were people on this

I don't know. Machinekit and LinuxCNC have diverged quite a long way
in the last several years.
Maybe ask them?

I've resurrected a nine year old project and am finally adding CNC to my

belts, angular contact bearings but everything languished in a box after the
pattern for the HP_UHU heatsink was a failure so I never got past getting

If you look at semiconductor fabs where that make parts with features sizes
as small as 10 nM now
they seem to never bolt equipment to the floor. No matter how strong your
machine is, bolts will
distort the frame. They take strong measures to isolate the machines from
the building.
Of course no

Rather a cute idea. :-)
So taking it a step further ... use a double column of CMU for the
headstock and a single column to support the tailstock.
Epoxy the CMU to make a good column but don't epoxy to the floor. Use
a rod end or automotive ball and socket to relieve stress on the
tailstock
