Hi all, I can confirm it is a lot of fun having a working machine!

Having enough bits of material to cut is now becoming the limiting factor!

I have been trying to master the use of a round over bit to create smooth curves, which has highlighted another issue which I have now ironed out - tramming the spindle. This video is very helpful for anyone trying to do this:

I am still getting the odd problem however:

> I have had occasional random stalls on the x axis. I have slowed the velocity in motor tuning to (I think and will check later) 3500mm/min from 5000 to see if that helps.

> I have had a couple of ePID errors on MACH3 after a tool change, which led me to this:

And this:

Which made me think I should look at changing my version of MACH3 to 062 as there seems to be issues when using a motion controller (mine is the ipm) with version 066 for some.
