Imagine my surprise to accidentally find the Butler factory when visiting my sister:

Maybe I should try to persuade them to offer a LinuxCNC option.

Andy, is that something that could be fixed with an application specific task module?
It seem to me there is a whole new world out there for LInuxcnc if task and iocontrol drivers were exploited.

One thing that LinuxCNC can't do well but that some other controls can do is cut simultaneous toolpaths with two spindles. This is more often a requirement on lathes,

I suspect not (but don't know)
I think that it needs two motion queues.

Wasn't Machinekit working on something like that at some point? Don't know if they got anywhere.
