Never having added to a wiki before, of course I failed. Pressing 'Publish' after having edited the page locally fails. I was going to add a wishlist item; support for the G6 gcode, to specify & carve parabolic shapes. This is described in the Machinery Handbook #27 in the cnc section. Similarly, but not quite exactly, the ability to carve an elipse or section thereof would be nice, but this isn't in the Handbook that I've found so far. Is there even a gcode assignation for that? >Regards, >Alex -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
