Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] DeskNCRT

Yes the max_velocity is in IPM. I have tried a few values and it was right
on.
Read the instuctions with the part on setting the Period and the set L
command . That should get you pretty close.
There was a bug in the version taht I have that after a mdi move if you
aborted the move it would then take off running again as soon as you type
enable . But it would move to an uncommanded location.
It does need work but he is making good progress.
