Re: Circular Pocket diameter off
Hi Shawn. The mills are not the same. You need to get a different Ball Screw Kit. Get in contact with Dave Clements from Arizonavideo99 at davedaxx1@yahoo.com You'll need to do some research on the servos/stepper motor that you'll be using because the shafts come in different diameters. Dave will ne...

I've only had the opportunity to back up the files and updated CNC12 software to ver. 4.64. Also changed the axis drive type to ClearPath SDSK & SDHP. I have to set the steps per rev on the MSP software, and Centroid Wizzard Axis Configurations per your latest video for the SDKS ClearPath servos...

Re: Circular Pocket diameter off
Thank You Nigelo for the information. That is what I intend to do, Calibrate the TPI on all axis.
Everything has a learning curve, This is why I opted to post the issue, to get advice from those with more knowledge about these subjects.
Thank You Ruben

Re: Circular Pocket diameter off
Hi Chuck
Here is my report. I'm using the Intercon software that came with the Acorn board to program the parts.
What I haven't setup is the turns per inch of the leads screw, and checked the backlash. I believe that may be the problem.
Thank You: Ruben
