Woo-Hoo & double Hoo-Rah!! Let's hear it for Keith & Centroid. They finally opened Pandora's Box!

Only for those who have machines ready to go Milton....now get back to work!

You're right Marty! I'm just hoping when I get home my buddy's not sitting in the driveway with a box full of metal and his hair on fire needing miracles performed before Mon morning when his plant reopens.

Gotta pay for that machine some how....he is paying you isn't he?

Oh yeah, they pay well. For sure not as much as they'd have to pay a "real" machine shop to come in on a Sat or Sun but always as much as I bill them; plus the beer he brings with him when he picks it up.

Thanks for all the hard work!

Wow, a lot has been going on here since I've been gone! Just placed an order for Acorn #2.

Question...what would be the best method to install both Mill and Lathe software? Can you just do one at a time without problems? I'm assuming there will be a lathe wizard and a mill wizard so they can both be set up.

Scot, you really shouldn't blink, you never know what you might miss!
Your Mill and Lathe question was answered in Keith's video earlier in this thread where he announced the new Rev release
I'll save you from going back to page 2....but yes, Run Setup, Install Mill, run the Mill Wizard, set it up. Then go back run Setup AGAIN, but this time install Lathe, then run the Lathe Wizard and now you have both on the same PC with their own setup profiles:
