Re: CNC12 Mill, Lathe, Router, Plasma v5.20 is now available.



Oh I thought that was the case, as that was what you were saying in the video where you showed how to transfer the tool library. You said that since V4.18 there was no longer any need to follow this video.


please send me a link to that, looks like i need to clean up some old videos? thanks ...

Re: New build: Optimum D280x700 with AcornSix ClosedLoop

You did a great job!
Wouldn't the X-axis scale have been better on the other side?
What motor are you using for the spindle?

For mounting the tool holder, I advise you to remove the small carriage, especially if you plan to do any cutting.

i do this on mine:

Re: Jogging feed from tool check (Lathe)

Hello everyone.

After a few tests in MDI mode I just understood the usefulness of the "RAPID/FEED" button
Coming from the old version 4.62, I didn't immediately notice this button and understand its uses.
Everything is now very clear, thank you all.

If I may, a modifiable parameter to act on ...

Doesn't the MPG crank in the feed position have the same function as if I pressed the 25% button directly?
For me it is more logical and I also feel much safer having my hands on the crank to manage the movement from the G28 position.
This was the case in my old version V4.62 and it was really ...

Jogging feed from tool check (Lathe)

Good morning.

Since updating to version 5.2 I noticed that I could no longer reduce the feed with the MPG remote control from the tool check position to the G54 position.

This only happens when launching a machining program.

Once the g54 position is reached it works perfectly.

Is there a way ...

Re: CNC12 Mill, Lathe, Router, Plasma v5.20 is now available.



ok thank you keith.

And the problem with MDI mode? why is this not happening?


I am looking into it now.


I've found.
I used to type enter at the end of my code in MDI.
You must now press cycle start.
I'm not a big fan of this new configuration.
Definitely time to get used to it.
I don't ...
