I worked for a couple of years at the Garden Island Dockyard in Sydney. They had some massive machines. One lathe was big enough to machine propellor shafts for the ships. It had a set of steps so the machinist could cross over the machine to the other side when they needed to. I wired in the power supply for the first CNC lathe that they installed. It was amazing to see it work. I didn't think a lathe could take such big cuts. I will try raising the current in the morning and see how it goes. thanks again Pete
