No - but my neighbour is now sulking after hearing the language <G>
I'm going back out in a minute to check my tool offsets again and then
test run some blank collets off all being well. I put a new blade in
the parting tool so it needs re-setting.
There's only two outstanding things now I think (apart from threading
which I may try later - gulp) neither of which are show stoppers.
One is display is distorted if tools have offsets - minor detail.
The other is slightly more serious, but I think maybe the problem is
at my end, I'm getting a slow down or speed up of the spindle when the
steppers move (it's depends on which way they go).
I think it may be down to something limiting current or voltage, I'll
have to check all the values of the components on my board - it's
quite possible I've put a wrong resistor in somewhere :)
