Hi Lemo,

Thought I would try your thingy in aluminium. Got the outside done, now to work out the code for cutting the inside. There is definitely going to be some sharp ridges I think.

You will have to try again with posting the pictures of the parts. Nothing saved.

It appears that JetCam is like a top of the range CNC machine without a cutting tool - You can do all sorts of wonderful things with it except produce a finished part.

I had a similar problem in the past which turned out to be noise spikes on the LPT parallel port. Not only was it causing random EStop's it was also causing false steps. I fitted a PCI parallel port card and this completely cured the problem.
Are you using screened cable (grounded at one end only) for your limit switches and EStop ?

btw. You are not a noob you are on equal ground to the rest of us - we are all still learning.
