    CNC Question - E-stop wiring

    Two questions here... Why would you want to stop both in the middle of a cut? We use feed hold then turn off the spindle and the reverse when starting again. Starting and stopping both simultaneously damages the tool. What kind of machine comes without a hardwired e stop? Sent from...

    what is your home heating

    I have a propane boiler with a combination of radiant and baseboard heat. For the last two years I have primarily used my pellet stove. It works out nicely I save several thousand each year vs using the boiler. Ideally I would like to have a pellet boiler that would feed from a large hopper...
