Charles,

No one will be offended! We just have spirited discussions on technical subjects sometimes
and that's a good thing. Don't take it as offense.

Could you give some more details? Perhaps you are dissatisfied with the performance
or are having some problems. Or do you want to find a way to use the encoders you
have mounted?

If it is the latter someone (Dan?) I thought mentioned that it is in the works for
EMC in the near future.

It may also be that your system would have little to gain from using encoders.

It sounds like your machine is pretty hefty!

I would like to hear much more about it.
