Hi John, Yes, I did work through them but missed the direct relevance. I think I was initially a little confused because what I saw on my screen didn't correspond to what was shown in the tutorial (I don't know whether it makes any difference but I'm testing this out on the latest EMC2 on Ubuntu 8.04). Also I hadn't get my head round the fact that what I am setting up is a spindle and not an axis - probably because I was trying to do it with a 5-year old trying to continually get my attention and a 7 month-old shouting because he's always bored...... the pleasures of school holidays eh? If only my daughter didn't have to work and leave them with us.... On the third run through I think light is beginning to dawn... sorry -- Best wishes, Ian ____________ Ian W.
