OK, at the risk of beating a dead horse, If you have access to .0001" DRO
scales, wouldn't they provide a more accurate method of locating the table,
than indirectly with encoders?
If not I'll be installing encoders on my mill, if so can the programs you
guys are running be set up to read from scales?
Finally, does anybody have info about how well the BOBCAD program works? And
can it be used with the Linux programs for a source of the G codes?
