Re: G0678 CNC Conversion Thread
Dave, I just have to say that your neat freak type of life is commendable. I would love to be able to have my shop spotless every day. With a clean non cluttered shop productivity is so much better. I feel my shop is dirty even when it's clean. God bless you buddy.

Re: Acorn ATC Interface

Re: Encoder mount Charter Oaks Desk Top Mill
Hi Guys, Thanks for all your comments for sure. I do like the silicone tubing idea. As far as the tube slipping a little touch of super glue on the shafts will fix that, it works very well. There's no load on encoders they turn very easy. I have very little room that's why the coupling was made that...

Encoder mount Charter Oaks Desk Top Mill
So here's my encoder mount for my Charter Oaks mill. I have a air cylinder on top of the spindle shaft so I had to get creative with mounting but that's the fun, right? I used 2 skate board bearings since they are sealed, small durable and I use them in a lot of my plasma cutter builds. I mounted th...

Re: Quick Tip: IF you have Home/Limit Switches, here is an example and description on setting them up
Scoty i think you are confusing Part Zero location with Machine Home Zero location. these are two different zero points! Machine Home by definition is machine ZERO. But that is NOT the same as Part (WCS Work Coordinate System) Zero. When the machine is done homing the DRO (Digital Read Out) is disp...

Tracking number
I just got a tracking number for my Acorn. They said that they would not start shipping until after the 3rd. of January. That's also when the price increase takes effect but it looks like they are shipping early. Ordered another one last night for my lathe too so hopefully it will get moving too pre...
