Centroid Community CNC Support Forum

I have been away for awhile and am just getting back to using my CNC. I saw there have been a couple of updates to CNC 12 since I last used it. I installed it on my computer and I see that there is a router version as opposed to just using the mill version before. I chose the router since my machine...

try posting in the other part of the forum. Don't get as many people seeing it in the tech tips section.

Glad it worked for you

Spindle speed not reading the speed set in tool data or program. It just defaults to the lowest speed. Ideas? It has been a while since I set mine up but I think that I had a similar issue at first. I have since changed VFDs so having to try and recall the info from memory. The manual mentioned a j...

Thanks I will give it a try
