Re: List question

I guess I'm one of the one hundred ninety that are saying nothing, so to change that I'd like to say, NO don't split the list. I
enjoy learning about all the topics discussed here.

I currently have a Grizzly bed mill that I'm converting to CNC using AHHA software and PacSci motors. I am ordering ballscrews
from Nook Industries (precision rolled) and have put a 3 HP DC motor on the spindle. I plan to pick up Linux 5.2 this weekend
and try to get EMC going also and compare the two (AHHA and EMC).

I also have a couple of really big BostonMatic CNC mills (about 13,000 LBS each) to upgrade the controls on. I'm sure that what
I learn from the discussions on this list will help me decide which software and hardware to use in this project also.

Thanks, everyone !!
