Yes. and no. Read my previous posts. (Capability is there,
implementation is yet undone.)

Hope you use some g01 also. Boy, you REALLY DO want as much speed as
you can get!! :)

How many is "some hundreds"?

And what about others on the list? How many dollars is it worth to
EASILY cut these types of files??

P.S. Andrew, Take a look at Doug Yeagers program CNCpro, IT is a low-
cost program which DOES a decent job of this "constant-vector-
velocity" control.
