Yes I saw that VIDEO Nice.
NOPE no drooling here Rigid tapped with Mach3 and servo drive Spindle Many YEARS ago in early testing of mach3 (;-). Where do you think Swapaxis / Unswapaxis came from (;-)
Not a problem . . I am drooling enough for both of us. I despise tapping. I have Tapmatic heads and I have built custom floating tap holders. Result; I despise tapping.
Hard tapping is the tip of the iceburg. But it will pay big cash dividends in my case, and that feature alone would make the effort worth while so for the moment, I am enjoying being impaled upon that feature . . . . . however, there are bigger plans afoot.
Swapaxis was a Godsend (a Hoodsend, actually) to my initial work on he 'mini machining center'. I no longer use it for that, but it is useful for quickly placing arcs in planes other than XY.
If is was developed specifically for servo driven spindles, I would have to wonder if it would not have been simpler to just make code to run a rotary axis continuously. Swapping only the step/dir signals and not the rest of the params is problematic.
That said . . I was most happy to have it at the time.
So the little switch BOOTY came with the switch? Or was that seperate
