thank you cakeslob!! work !!! need only little bit tuning

I want to retrofit an old 5 axis gantry sawmill and achieve functionality like this machine
www.hualongm.com/stone-processing-machin...italian-pegasus.html
www.esautomotion.com/marble-working/
What user interface can be be a good starting point ? qtdragon_hd ?
Non trivial features are cutting with disk and spindle finishing cuts in the corners or small radius cuts or waterjet
and optical recognition of slabs with camera (opencv)
Any suggestions ?

I noticed in the latest RotarySMP video that he is using FreeCAD.

Maybe it's time for me to switch...

If you edit the tool table, save the changes, re-load the tool table in the GUI and then issue a G43 in MDI then the tool diameter really should change.

Maybe it's the "reload tool table" step that is missing?

Is the Z limit switch also a home switch?

halshow (in Axis menu - Machine - Show Hal Configuration) will let you explore whether joint.2.*-lim-sw-in is not working properly.

When i start this pendant must push continuous mode button for jogging with
wheel is not press continuous it changes feedrate override.
How can fix this ?

Been getting this error a lot, and again, the machine will not home.

I was not awere of this working mode, it can be useful because you can use  sheetcam drawings or generate in QTplasmaC.
but still need change pierce delay in tool.

Turn off eoe

50 hz is inferior to 60Hz b/c transformers, motors, etc. need to be bigger and more expensive.

In Canada/USA,we have 240V outlets, but they are rarely installed or used.

I've never seen a 20A plug either, despite the existence of 20A outlets.

Weird that it's 16A in hot Austrailia, but 15A in cold Canada.

I am unable to get the motors to move, they are open loop steppers.  This is my first use of linuxcnc so I don't know much, but I tried power on, then home and got the following:

Were can I get a definition of command number 110?

Why would the utility company complain?

More power = more $$!

What electrical plugs are used in Austrailia?

Tommylight, are you Austrailian?

I’ll try to take a peek after work today

Hi, that looks like a lot of network problems to me. I don't actually know what the problem is, it's a guess.
First, check this one out

which uses a different dcconf statement and a watchdog statement. It's worthwhile to try.

If that doesn't work.
What computer and network card do you have? Can you post the output of the commands "uname -a" and  "lshw -C network"?
Have you tried changing to other network cables?
Tested with only one drive attached?
Tested with another ethernet card. Intel cards works the best for me. If you have a free pci-e slot it's easy to test with a Intel i226 card.
