Good job Jeff.

Overloaded, look at this link.  http://www.rogersmachine.net/PCIport.html   

Also, tiger direct, new egg, and others will have dual cards. That is what I use in conjunction with BOBs

The machines I'm speaking of are vertical lathes. The reason for the redundant encoders on these are to check belt slippage. They use 30KW ac servos and drive the spindle with 2, 7 groove v-belts.

The large machines I work on have an encoder on the motor as well as one that is driven directly by the spindle via a timing belt. The fanuc controller monitors both, looking for differences. If they differ past a set amount, it will throw an alarm. All of this isn't necessary for threading, just redundant.

Ernie, do you have single block enabled? If so, it will only run one block of code per push of cycle start. Can view it on the program run page. If the led beside the button is lit, it is enabled.

Do you mean hold down shift and the axis jog key at the same time? If this is it, I can't drink beer, it makes me drunk.

Can you tell us more about your application? You can slave axis, put vb scribt in a button, maybe assign hotkeys. Lots of ways to get what you want I think. Knowing how it will be used will help others decide the best rout for you.
