I'd sure like to hear more about this. I know that the code for this is (or

was) part of EMC from the early days. Can you say who is using it
successfully? I definitely want to do a lathe conversion, too. I may not
need it right away, as the Sheldon I'm rebuilding may make it easy to
have a manual/CNC machine with almost instant changeover.
