Re: Tool touch off and probe help needed

Also, about that wiring idea. I am dealing with issues on wiring too. Base Wiring Duct is what it is called. It is like a conduit for small boxes so the wires are not always touching each other or around specific, other wires. Seth P.S. The deeper the box, the better is what I have found to be a goo...

Re: Tool touch off and probe help needed

Snipping tool will work... Also and first off, I am a new machinist. I know little but understand how to convey messages almost well some of the time. If the Control P from your keyboard does nothing... 1. Try the snipping tool 2. Open up the "start" menu in Win 10/11 3. Click on the "...

Re: Lathe Work/CNC12 and Post Processing

First off, cnckeith...thank you for the videos. I was 100% unaware of currently understanding what available CNC programming entailed. This showed me. I thank you for the second video in the series. That showed me exactly how to set XZ and use offsets for tools with CNC12. And yes sir, my parts can ...

Re: Video Walkthrough of How I Use the Acorn

Nice.

Does Centroid have post processors for Atom 3D? It is an Alibre product. I bought years ago and I am just getting into it. I started to make parts and I can make step files with it.

Seth

P.S. Learning all the time...I like the video. I learned some. Thank you.

Re: Okay! Making Things Work!

Re: Still no motor movement.

Also...from what I understand, use the Wizard. There are many easy-to-follow sets of instructions online for the Wizard data that needs to be correct.
