Questions on using a moving gantry style mini-mill...

[Davek0974]

The new code snippet worked well, very slick now - pauses, goes to park, tells me to change the clamps, then goes to tool-change then starts cutting, nice :)

The only odd thing i saw was that the job timer in Mach3 was reset at some stage, not sure if it was the pause or the "go to park" macro call??

Also made up some nice clamps to replace the bent bits of scrap I had on it ;)



The bed does need a skim though, I have found in the tool drawer a nice 12mm inserted tip carbide cutter that should do nicely for this.
