config motors, 4th axis motor has a different tuning than the x, y and z
run micromill text demo file TEXTDEMO.TAP
file runs too big and the zero point on the file is in the bottom center instead of the bottom left
1/8" rotozip bit is used as the cutting tool
- How to change the percentage of the movement?
The text file is supposed to fit on a sample block 2x3x.25 It runs considerably larger
The size of the run caused the toolbed to run out.
z distance seems to be about 50% of what is keyed in
x and y distances seem to be about 200% of what is keyed in
run the ellipse file. http://dhsfab.pbwiki.com/f/ELLIPSE.TAP
steppers sound loud and gravelly
safe z was way high, about the max of the axis
Here is a screenshot of the settings for the ellipse file:

observations - needs:
This machine needs limit switches!
no axis is running with accuracy
the machine enclosure needs a door on the operator side and the other side as well. The door should be held with a magnet catch so it can open if it is pushed by the toolbed.
