Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] another EMC Glitch?

Hi Les:
When you hit resume, make sure that the controller turns the spindle
back on first.
Some don't!!! (Don't ask me how I know this... It's an embarrassing story!)
Turn your rapid rate right down so you don't plow into the job with a
non-spinning cutter if you're not sure.
Cheers

Marcus
