    Default Anyone running a lathe with EMC in Europe?

    Anyone is running a lathe in Europe with EMC2 that uses cycles, tool nose compensation and all the remaining good stuff normally seen in Fanucs, that is able to show me personally its machine running? I am able to travel all over Europe just so see how good/bad this can be, so that I will be confident on turning to EMC.
    Someone doing real parts on real machines would be great to see. Basically I would like to know if this is stable for normal, constant operation.

    I am located in Portugal, and I can speek English.

    Anyone that is able to receive me (can pay a lunch and a dinner...)

    Hi
    It depends how urgent it is.
    I did cnc convert of my lathe .
    It s a klippfeld inkl Miller
    I learned that cnc lathe needs toolchanger and i Upgrade to newest emc
    So now i rebuild to Manual to Build turret
    Then i reassemble and use lathe for the projects as planned.

    I use now emc for milling as well
    And i am based in Austria
    Cu

    It is not urgent, but I would like to see a "complete" working machine.
    Normally PC based controllers have many things that are not implemented, that you only know of when you need them. This is the main reason that I would like to contact someone that uses +- professionally EMC to accomplish real parts.

    Thank you for your information.

    I am, but not professionally.
    I suggest you ask on the EMC2 users mailing list, where I suspect your message will be seen by rather more people.

    There is a users map here: LinuxCNC.org - LinuxCNC user map
    But I am not sure it works at the moment. (It might just be my browser)
