Hope I wasn't too far off on your machine specs, Ray.

Mike,
Yes, I've already written the Mach3 macros to apply tool length to the knee automatically. Let me know when you need them.
Its' my X and Y that'll do 400 IPM (though I don't run it that way - too scary). It'd take one helluva motor to get the knee going that fast - It only does 75 IPM.
Regards,
