Spindle on when jogging. We need to add this.

Rob,

I just found this. Sorry to be so late to the conversation. I am just getting going with my Nomad and ordered your edge finder. However, I can’t use it until I can get the spindle turning in jog mode. If I can’t use the edge finder I can’t use the machine! So I am dead in the water here. Any idea when you are going to add this functionality?

Also, is there a way you can smooth out the jogging? It seems that there is a pause/stutter when in rapid mode. If you could produce a smooth movement like when you use the power feed levers on a typical knee mill that would be awesome. Then you could face off a piece, move up and in the radius of the cutter, zero that axis, and have a good zero from that edge.

Thanks for any help…

Also, if you pause during a probing cycle, it waits a while and then fails the probing cycle. Just lost a few hours to that one.

Here’s a feature request. Open source everything so we can all help fix things. I’d love to be your first pull request.

Volume Calculator for Pocket cuts.

I just did a big (for me) epoxy job. It would have made my life WAY easier if I would have known the Volume of my pocket. Both for Regular Pocket cuts and Advanced V-Carve Cuts.

Display the absolute position in addition to the relative position. This would make using fixtures and tweaking zeros much easier.

That feature is already there. Just click or touch the position and it will toggle between relative and machine positions. I use that little known feature fairly often.
