The beeps are created when I select an axis on the pendent using push buttons. Rotating the knob seems to make a series of speed steps in the speed. Yes, it is changing the pulse rate. The pendent is usually used for very small and precise axis moves when zeroing the start point on a new project. It is much easier and more precise than tapping the keyboard. Hi Scott,

You must be using integer multiples of something (pulse rate?). It sounds like 2:1, 3:1, 4:1, 5:1. SL I like the way the motor “sings” the harmonic series during the [a|de]cceleration.

The temperature was perfect to be in the shop all weekend.

I was going to leave the original structure well enough alone.In fact it is still there so old links will work. The old site was built using frames (high tech back then) but links to articles lost the overall structure of the web site. I never liked that. Updates will be MUCH easier and the site will all look like one. It actually hasn't changed "look" all that much. ~ Dan'l Yes Andy, That was my original thought.

The main site looks good and it's easy to get to the various projects and articles.

There may be some export/import tool in WordPress that may help a blog to blog change. Good luck. :) Took a quick look at your blog and it presently looks very clean. Sure would like to have a shed like yours. It would be nice if I could auto transfer my old HTML into my new format. I did some of that manually when I built the "The Hobbyist Work Shop" in Joomla. I moved the "Wood" tab off the THMS "Machine Shop" site to create the new THWS "Work Shop" website. I left the old files in place in THMS directory structure and just removed the menu tab. That was in case there were links to the older directory in the THMS site, they wouldn't get broken. So much to think about... :) Hello Andy,
