Nice work Steve - I reckon Boyd Coddington would have been proud to see pipes like that.

Yep, ya got me, I actually screwed up when setting up Mach 3 as I'm used to a mill and got my directions reversed. I suppose I should fix them soon so I don't get used to it being backwards.

  Suppose you could always turn the "X axis label" upside down and fit the "Y axis label" on the other side of the gantry

I'm just confused with the X & Y axis labeling and directions, backwards in my world.

Mine too

Hi Henry,

Before I get in too deep here do you really mean DWF (which is essentially a compressed file format) or do you mean DXF ??

That looks way too neat Dave - really nice job you have done.

I thought Sam would notice #8

Hi Dannos,

Welcome to the forum.

Pins are the individual signal carriers and ports contain the group of individual pins.
For example, a computer with a parallel printer port may have one 25 way D type connector identified as an LPT port, this port in turn has 25 pins which can carry signals.

Hope this helps,

Tweakie.
