    Would these work for a reducer?

    That is not what my machine does! I think you must have changed your mind on that one. The machine just stops without lifting the bit. The safest thing to do.

    Sorry, but I had to try it.

    I must say that it really is a nice feature that works well. Now if I can only figure out how to use it to make dovetail joints.

    Edit: The machine stops in place if you lift the cover or press stop. It does, however, start up and back out of the hole as Metallus said if you press stop again.

    So this could be important: If for some reason, the bit becomes jammed or movement is restricted, do not press stop twice. Press stop once and then turn off the machine.

    I don't see why the same file couldn't be used for dovetails. Just start keyhole program ( with a dovetail bit ) off the end of the board.

    The tails would be a different story. You would have to do them the old fashion way.
    I mentioned to LRH several years ago , they should come out with a CNC horizontal router. That would be perfect for doing dovetails , box joints, tounge and groove, etc.

    Thanks for testing. That code was written so long ago that I forgot the details.
