New build - Screw specification???

[HiltonSteve]

Hmm, last time I had a close look it looked positively unfinished compared to EMC (will have to look again)

Must agree with you to a certain extent, it does look like they have not finished it off but it is very functional, just a bit tatty round the edges if you know what i mean!

Can be tidied up by the user if needed, there is a screen designer on the support page. I have altered our copy so that everything including setting up tool offsets etc is all on the first page and dropped a load of the non needed stuff.

I also took a recent look at EMC2 again but gave up, not saying it's no good but unless you are a Linux techie it's very, very hard work.
Basically it's written by techies for techies and not machinists.

Break a tool, need to jog clear, fit new tool and reset length then carry on ?

No can do, bail out and start again.
