Using cell phone to update CNC computer
I wanted to update my CNC mill to CNC12 vs. 5 but Windows 10 needed to be updated. I don't have internet in my shop. The PC would have needed to be taken to the house in order to connect to the internet. I do have 5G cell service on my cell phone in my shop so I used a USB cable between my cell phon...

Re: 10/1 gears installed!
Seems to me this forum did figure it out for you. The 10:1 gearboxes would work with servos but they aren't going to give you the speeds you want with steppers.

Re: Using a vertical and a horizontal spindle with Acorn
Do you want to use both spindles in the same job? If not you can configure your machine with two different configurations. I asked this question regarding my universal milling machine. I was told to have two totally different machine configurations of the Acorn. I never set it up as I have a horizon...

Re: closed loop with Acorn 6 and a linear scale
How are you dealing with the conflict between your encoder on the servo and the linear scales? What is the resolution of your encoders? Or is this a non issue?

Stop making this look so easy! Us mere mortals only can dream of doing this stuff! Great job.

Re: CNC 12 Mill vs Router
Keith, I noticed on the stock mill picture there are feed rate buttons for percentages. Is that stock because mine doesn't have them and I think I am running the latest version?

Re: Probing a part question
The way I did it was to put the plate from the spindle top on my mill table and align two for the opposite holes along the X axis using my 3D taster. Then I put the tip of the 3D taster in one hole on the side closest to the center boss and zeroed my X axis. Then I went to the opposite hole and meas...

Re: Probing a part question
How would you accurately find the radius of the BHC? Finding the center off the boss no problem.
