Kirk, thanks for posting this. I've always wondered how they got the
detents to work

Problem with AMC drives is that they scrub the part numbers off of the
chips, so it's really hard to tell what's going on. I would guess they
don't have such a board, but it would be worth checking

I agree, I went through the same thought process and decided ELS wasn't
worth it in comparison to a full cnc.
Has anyone tried cnc'ing the cross screw from the shaft that is the normal
driver? Seems like a crummy mechanical solution, but it has big advantages
in ease of installation

negative and positive feed enable inputs would do the same thing

So they tested a batch of parts and projected out to the point where 63
percent will have failed using some assumed distribution of failure times.
Not hard to get to 171 years using that methodology. It ignores the common
case where there is a mode of failure that causes the failures to be

our machine uses cloth filter bags on the return. McMaster sells them in
the U.S. Don't see the bowl we have on the McMaster site, I thought they
sold one like it. It's really a strainer basket

Last time I set up a lcnc system I had a lot of trouble with the Nvidia
drivers -- they wouldn't install. I did go with Vesa. I don't really
think it's a problem.

I've had horrible luck with homeplug. Not sure what's going on, but I had
some netgear devices that never worked well and the Sharp devices I
replaced that with just died after less than a year of service. I'm going
to give up and pull cable

that's our lab. We use the enclosure nowadays :) Ted survived and has a
real job now.
The lathe is a Nanotech. There are a lot of reasons why it is a half
million $ machine, but I'm not sure the base is one of those reasons. The
air bearing spindle he is using is instrumented with 4 capacitance
