I'm just configuring my Taig mill with Mach3 and the default was 2000.

One of the reasons why I wanted to have a CNC mill was to be able to profile angles and make angled slots down into the material. For this should I use a 'normal' endmill or a spherical shaped cutter?

How low can the headstock go before disengaging from the Z axis leadscrew? Is there a measurement I can do to make sure I don't do this? Possibly from the headstock base that is connected to the leadscrew nut(not the dovetail or actual spindle extrusion)?

Sometimes I'm doing jobs and I'm just waiting for that headstock to come crashing down so I'd like to make a reference mark on the column somewhere just to be sure.

I just spent over an hour going through his site - very nice descriptions, clear pictures, and some nice videos. On the Taig CNC mill he has detailed pictures of his CNC build during construction, an extended Y axis fixture plate, a low profile vise, and more. Enjoy!

I am looking and wondering how deeper cuts are made - surely there must be a way, but all I can think of is making either the cutter holder longer, or using longer cutters. How is it done? How would I mill the bottom of a pocket 4 inches deep with a taig or homebuilt mill? I'm concerned about balance when using cutters at high speed, so quite curious how this would be done?

For those not sure about TurboCNC let me just tell you. I had a very tough time trying to get Turbo set up with the motors. I tried Zeus and it just worked. It is a simplified control but it works very well. Maybe not all the bells and whistles like Mach or EMC but it gets the job done. Just thought I'd put that out there for those looking to still use their DOS box or to give a new lease on life.
