The main problem is I'm quite the novice with this. I had the mill
working with the software that came with it on an old DOS box I had
but the machine died and I had no luck getting replacement parts that
old. I thought I would give the EMC a try. So far I've gotten the X
axis to move faintly but nothing more. It's frusterating to be so
close yet so far away.

I'll look through the software and see if I can find where to do that.
