"NOW you just brought up the second most complained about part of the Lcnc project. WELL if you don''t like it you can program your OWN version. (;-) . Fanuc clone ?? well that has worked very well...

Ouch! - I seem to have touched a nerve. I really don't have a horse in this race, but I have been a satisfied user (not developer) of LinuxCNC for a number of years on a number of different machines....

G'morning vmax549 - you pretty much illustrated the debate between developers who strongly adhere to structured programming principles (for generally sound reasons -think spaghetti code) and those...

Given that Path Pilot is based on linuxCNC ( as discussed in multiple threads here), I would think that Tormach gave you the rational answer. Have you looked the various flow control mechanisms in...

I've been using linuxCNC for a number of years on several machines. Typing ahead while in MDI has always worked for me without problem. Don't know why this would be changed in PP (won't migrate to...

You answered my question --- wonderful! I applaud MESA's willingness and ability to do this - you've more than adequately justified your assertion of being more open-source friendly. WRT EtherCAT...

Agreed - that's why I referenced how well the host approaches "real time"; or restated - how well the host can demonstrate deterministic/bounded responses (and jitter is meant to be correlated with...

Hi - no insult meant to MESA. The real time concern I was considering with using internet protocol was based on the following: your communication, utilizing UDP, has to go through the IP/UDP stack on...

I really don't want to get into an argument about the "right way" to move/place the Tormach - whatever works safely for you is great. But for informational purposes only, I'll point out that smaller...

I agree with Ray - something with forks is best. One other option to consider is a skid steer with quick attach forks - the smaller ones aren't too tall and will be more likely to fit through lower...

I've been using linuxCNC on my series 3 1100 from the time I purchased it (much more of a unix/linux guy than a windows guy - had a unix consulting/ software development business for 10 years). I've...

This may not apply to your case, but I just put solid rods through the holes in the base of the 1100 and set the forks to the right separation on the Bobcat. Really easy to set the mill on the...

When I bought the 1100 and deluxe stand, I just lifted the pallets off the (Estes) truck with the Bobcat with forks. Once I had the mill on the stand (Bobcat + 1" bars) and bolted down, It was easy...
