I have EMC2 2.3.0 running on Ubuntu 8.04LTS and it is driving a desk-top
CNC machine. I know, pretty old stuff. But it is running fine and I am
starting a project that will last a month, or so. I just noticed the
hard-drive is making noise/vibration and wonder if it will make it through.

Having designed a tool changer and putting it to use for a few years, I can
say confidently that flipping the tool upside down is to prevent crude
getting on the taper. There may be other benefits, but that is the most
important by far.

I think it likely the blades you have were not hardened throughout from the

The fastest curing epoxy adhesive I know is UV curing. Maybe you can make
your own foam out of a foaming agent and UV epoxy and have a UV lamp at the
nozzle. Just a thought (and be careful with the UV ;^0).

In one scenario, this is no different than the operation of a CNC machine

Jeshua,
You should look closely at your settings. If decel is causing more
noticeable oscillations, your accel may not be achieving the numbers you
think it is. Or, perhaps it is harder to notice oscillations after accel
since the gantry is still moving. Either way, take a closer look.
