There is also the sample program thats included with the starturn software on the denford site, that stuff can be compared on (and it runs under XP, just click ignore if it moans about a com port)

Funny system though, seems to include the same comment at least 3 times in the STA file? :S

Thats stunning,

only problem i got - i cant afford enough tools to fill all of them lol.

i use indexable tools and so far my collection is up to 4 standard tools and a boring bar :(

anyway, they are stunning, bit big for my machine, but i like your style - and i shall be making mines shortly :)

this might be over the top, but if its causing you major headaches - then you are guarenteed to get it right within 4.2 hours, assuming a startup time of 50 seconds, and 10 seconds to change the dips.
