Hi Terry,

I think you must have missed out during your school days  

Just a suggestion but if you use Google Chrome then Google Translate will convert all the pages to English for you.

General Mach Discussion / Re: stepper motor sing quite a tune when move at slow feed rate

Stepper motors will sing and it is normal.
However, the volume of the singing will depend a lot on the quality of the motors and the quality of the drivers (as well as the age of the listener's ears  )

If you set-up your rotary axis as a Spindle (with the appropriate step and direction) then you can run it continuously.

Too late I purchased the Gecko G540 this morning.

The file names will be the same just not the location, I was just going to match up file name for file name with the new location.

If you are going to keep exactly the same file names then that makes it a lot easier.

The first image in this thread is currently defined as being   http://www.skynetnz.com/blog/lathe/al54b.jpeg

How do you want the address for this image to read??

(presumably I can then modify all the following images in the same manner)
