Thanks for this info. I can do at least 200 IPM rapids with my router.
I tried EMC years ago but abandoned it for the simplicity of turbocnc.
It seems I'll have to give EMC a go once more. Does anyone have
experience with EMC2 already ? Is it stable enough ? from the web pages
I understand 3axis milling using parallell port step/dir signals should
work. Whats the most painless way of installing EMC ? BDI ?
