Complete CNC Mill System (Metric)
Sherline now offers a system that is even more complete than most, and at a ground-breaking price. In addition to your 5410 mill with stepper motors, Sherline's system includes a new computer with the Linux operating system and EMC 4-axis software pre-installed on the hard drive. All cables are included so that you can unpack the machine and computer, plug in the cords, boot up and be ready to start working on CNC projects. The Enhanced Machine Controller (EMC) was developed by the National Institute of Science and Technology for high-tech military jobs. It has since been simplified for home and shop use by a dedicated group of users and is available as "open source" software. Sherline has added special enhancements that tailor the program to be even more suited for use with a small tabletop mill. Some of EMC's features are: Tool path compensation Backlash compensation Backplot program to show tool path Uses industry standard g- and m-codes Capable of using either inch or metric dimensions
