Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Maxnc - don't buy it!

Tim,

Initially I was looking for servo only. I've been trying to get into a
CNC mill for some time now (small struggling one-man-shop), but with the
purchase of the Millport and getting it running under Ahha, many
possible paths have now been dropped. I'd like to experiment with the
encoder feedback and possibly switch my dad over to EMC for his
Sherline. Tolerances on his work are getting ever tighter.
If/when I do build a CNC attachment for my Hardinge, I might start out
with steppers, but really want servos there, as even a single lost step
could blow tolerances on a lathe. I'll cross the servo bridge when I
come to it however.
Further contact on the linux box, offlist...
