Re: Overall turns ratio, advice.
A faster motor, stepper or servo, has zero effect on the gear ratio. I'd suggest a 5:1 gearbox for your current setup. And just so you are aware, the faster you run a stepper the less torque it has. It falls off QUICK. Yes, I am aware of that. So in order to keep my 1000ipm rapids and 600ipm cuttin...

RTG display
Hello, Is it possible, maybe in a future upgrade to have the run time graphics tool to display a solid line instead of the dots? Although it works, I find that the display of dots especially at higher feed rates just looks rather quirky. A solid line fill would give a more pleasing view. Just my opi...

Re: CNC 12 5.02 ATC questions

My question is: How do I handle any tools above the 15 tools that I have setup in bin numbers? How do I add them? I know that will not be automa...
