Yes the only difference. Sender is the same, receiver is not, and from my experience they work much better than the cheap stuff on Linux or Mach. My POV is they make money with selling things, but we as customers on the other side are pleased with free updates in short time and have not to go on wit...

jep 7075 is easy to cut, but if it is possible from spindle speed, I use 200m/min or faster. No problem to write a chip breaking function with parameters for roughing, but for finish cut it looks better in one go with one long swarf. The trick here ist to make it flow away from the part so it will n...

From C-100 to C-200 is one direction, from C-200 to C-100 the other direction

The direction is determined by increasing or decreasing the C-axis value, no matter if the code starts at C0 or C-75

Gary also builds to order and he has lots of experience with shopbot.

For a perfect running system with minimum downtime maybe the best choice.
