    DNM 5700 Air questions

    Hello I have a new dnm 5700 I am hooking up. When the "e-stop" is on does the air still purge thru the spindle? That is how it works on my 2013 dnm 400, with e-stop on, the spindle purge air continues to run. So I had to run a ball valve to turn it off manually. Hopefully on the new one...

    I gotta gripe. I am sick of Bobcad.

    Over 10 years ago I left bobcad/cam, even after taking their 3 day training course. I went with ONECNC and could not be happier, if you ever have an issue or question it will be resolved in minutes with their great technical support.

    Speedio table rust under vise, grease between the two ?

    I use a generous coating of LPS3. It stains after a year or more but solves rust issue 100%. I try to let machine sit overnight before using coolant after installing vises also.
