Be sure to measure the results of your cuts and compare to the expected
values, to ensure you did cutter comp. properly and that the machine
calibrations are correct, before you try to actually make something.

Yes Pete. I wanted to wire the buttons that increase and decrease
spindle speed. After that I will try. I am not sure how well I can
measure dimensions of something made of machinable wax.

I will take some pictures of my old BP to send to you.

Now you can get one of those probes to put in your spindle and digitize with
it! That always sounded interesting to me, my mill still has the Anilam
control, if I start using it again I plan to upgrade to EMC2, I already
changed the amps out from Glentek to AMC, the old Glenteks squealed, their
PWM frequency was in audible range.
