When jogging with the shuttle in mach 3 mill - the dro shows me the jogging speed, with the same shuttle in mach 3 turn it does not show the speed (mm/min)? It does show the speed when using the keyboard though?
Anybody know why please? It's the tormach type of shuttle/controller

To be fair I do get pretty good results threading as is, what do you find to be the best feeds and speeds. It does seem to me that slower is better. I spin the chuck at 100RPM and take 0.05mm cuts usually. I just always get the feeling it could be better though!

OK, well I have a UC100 so that's that. I'm thinking I might take it out though if it will mean better spindle control for threading etc?

If mach is calculating the rpm, then why does'nt mach adjust the speed or is that just too simple? Am I misssing something?

Hello all, does anyone know if you should get voltage on the input pins of your BOB? I'm getting about 11 volts on mine which I find curious because I want to input 5 volt siignal from a spindle indexer. My BOB is CNC4you CP0 10V

cheers
