An 'iso' is a image file - your cd burning software can use it to create a CD.

The 'live' CD will run on any PC without installing over or damaging your windows installation (it will be slower than an installed version obviously)

To download the iso click here

Save the file on your harddisk somewhere (e.g. desktop) then open your CD burning software (e.g. Nero) select Recorder/Burn Image...

Set your PC to boot from the CDROM drive (you may need to adjust BIOS settings) and run the CD.

That's the problem with EMC, it's written by techies, for techies

One thing I noticed in the first post Nema 34's rated at 160 oz in ??

How old are those motors ? if they are the old round style and not the more modern square type this could be your problem.

Another thing is has anyone checked the Routout 10 amp drives on a scope for clean signals ? the smaller drives are terrible but I have never tried the larger drives, I can't see any point in going to 10 amps but having a voltage ceiling of 37 volts and this is advertised as Absolute maximum so say 30 volts for safety.

I was dubious reading the spec sheet where it says can run up to a Bridgeport at 2500 mm / min ???????

hi they are in fact an old superior electric (slo-syn)round style motor ,have been running them at at voltage of 25...will lift it to 32v......but dont want to push the rout-out boards too far,blown one set up,,,(replaced mosfets..and working again)
I tried running mill at 25mm per min in aluminum and in a 18mm pocket it drops about 25 thou off the size all round(very little slog on lead screws and compensated for on mack 3) as you say may have to go for bigger motors(brother and i built a big bridgeport using plug and play {low cost rerofit} servo system,not a cheap solution,but it is spot
on with no droped steps ....but cost an arm and a leg for hobby machine...thanks for the reply bobin
