NC Pod / Re: status of NCPod

Probably for the reason the OP has said, the pod seems to have slowed down if not stopped.
Now I have never had Pod so dont know how good or bad it is, how complete or incomplete it is. So take that at face value and disregard if you know or think differently.
I do however have a SmoothStepper (4 in fact) and although there are still things to be done (backlash is one I know of ) it is pretty well complete as it is now and I have every faith that it will not die a death like so many of the others have in the past, not saying the Pod is one of them but certainly is starting to look like it may be.
I have been using a SmoothStepper for over 8 months on the mill with any issues being sorted as time goes on and its been complete enough for me on the mill for a long time now. The lathe has had one fitted for maybe 2 months and for my lathe it is now complete to use day in day out.
