Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Does control s/w affect machine performance? wasRe: Aerotech Servo Motors?

Ballendo thanks for the reply. Initially the parts will be wood or
maybe plastic. I may get into aluminum later as my skills with the
machine improve. I've been to the model engineering sites and would
love to build an IC engine. Mostly lathe work, but with a mill I could
make some interesting crankcases.

That table I bought seems pretty tight. The ballscrews are 4mm pitch so
with 1000 line encoders I should have enough resolution, but I don't
really know what this particular table is capable of. Some of the
Aerotech tables have ridiculous accuracy and repeatability specs. Plus
I still need to come up with a Z axis that will work with this.

I did see That the TCNC V4.0 should be released soon and I may try it to
begin with.
