the GS2 VFD and operating it manually. That's probably how I'll do it when
I get started,
I think this is by far the best way, I had a Well Doh!

What I do is I use my MPG to twiddle handles when moving manually. I can
control the spindle, zero DRO axes, etc all via the MPG. This mill (with
quill) uses the XHC-HB04 MPG pendant, wired version, and it's great. I'm
thinking of CNCing my last manual mill...
Just my two cents (Canadian);
I have no drill press now - just a couple of CNC'd mills - one with a quill.

Just coming into this discussion now !!
I too want the option to disable the servos and use the machine manually with
the dro. Hence my choice of servos and linear scales. I have South Western
Industries mill now it is both manual and CNC and I wouldn't change it for the
world. PS it doesn't have

Mark, There is a servo enable button but it basically enables the
whole system. Not sure why anyone would want to have manual control
when a CNC mill is pretty much like a manual mill with accurate DRO's
and power feeds on all axes when in operation.

How about disabling the servos with the mist

How do I set up my servo enable and spindle enable (?) so that I can run
the mill manually, but still control the VFD via LinuxCNC? I'm not that
familiar w/ the actual AXIS interface and unsure of all the features it
has. I know I can add in features either through python widgets or
Ladder.
Mark,
There is a servo enable button but it basically enables the whole
system. Not sure why anyone would want to have manual control when a CNC
mill is pretty much like a manual mill with accurate DRO's and power feeds
on all axes when in operation. I use the Cincinatti arrow 500 I have
Mark,
Also IMHO your E-stop circuit should ALWAYS be a last ditch kill all
power setup that takes servo motor power away completely. There are other
ways to accomplish things and you need to familiarize yourself with the
Axis controls before you make any decisions on the setup so you arrive at
