shadowster Posted February 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2015 Seems fine using the splitter,gravo says I can use ,2 machines with one dongle from one PC As long as the PC has two ports for machines and the dongle is used in one of them I have one is200 for flat and one for round it will save me swapping clyndrical to vice each time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
