THanks Les always helpful, with us new starters.

Is there a function for referencing all axis home between operations, that's added to the g code, rarther than me stopping and doing it manually? Using mach3.

Thanks Les

Is there any way to change the setting so a Job Report will always display in minutes not seconds?

Thanks Les i sent you a PM

I can't think of any real reason why you can't do this. I don't currently have a rotary milling post but it wouldn't be a major job to write one. Do you want to just mill round tube or rectangular as well? Both, mainly for engraving at this stage or splining axles, i just was hesitant on buying it ...

Rotary milling is something i want to get into, is it possible to do if i buy the rotary plugin, if done a bit or research and come up with nothing.
