Talk:4x4 CNC Mill

Items to Clarify

• Collets: What size are the four collets?
• Mach4: Verify that instructions are correct.
• Work Coordinate System: Setup is mentioned at two places. Eliminate one.
• Spindle Speed in Mach4: Do we want the manual spindle speed to match the value in Mach4 (from Vcarve) so we have a reference value for future runs & so we will have proper speed when (someday) Mach4 controls spindle motor speed? Not practical since the user will manually adjust speed as needed. Should user go back into Vcarve & set value to the best speed from the run?
