e ever loaded. It is bad enough having to
cope with the 'improvements' to my Linux desktop which seem to happen every
week
so I don't want anything to 'improve' a working CNC setup unless *I* am
convinced it is useful :)

g a big enough swing on the rotary table given
the shallow angle you are trying to work on. It's a lot easier on the side of a
cylinder :)

sure and reply promptly when something of interest pops up.
To my mind, 'the cloud' should be about our all being able to LOCALLY monitor
and interact with other people without having to keep going to 'centrally
managed' websites ... email is part of that model.
not too
difficult? Just need software to generate the profile ... which must be easier
than the 3d printer code?

Still using an older stable Mach3 on most customer production sites ... if it
works don't break it and since there are no network connections - no need to
worry about updates getting in the way :)

N2800 board to a job that needed W7 anyway
simply because I could not rely on it. The XP drivers still are not available,
but as long as you use a low resolution monitor then the generic drivers are
fine.
The PV530A-ITX has proven reliable and paired with the Dual PCI case gives a
nice
ly using it with http://linitx.com/product/13485 which is a nicely
priced option for motherboard, and a 16Gb SSD disk makes a nice package.
