Re: why is my origin inverted?
Hi, thanks for the reply, my axis are correct x+ goes to the right, y+ goes towards the machine and z+ upwards I made an intercon program and milled out a part successfully but all the while it was going backwards on the centroid graphics....

Re: A few problems I need help with
I think Terry is confusing what appears in the Program List when he clicks Windows Start. They are 2 separate Programs but CNC12 when started will automatically start the VCP. If this is not the case, please post a current REPORT.ZIP that Shawn has already requested above. This contains detailed inf...

Re: Newbie Intercon question

Assuming your 105 holes are split 7 rows in Y Axis and 15 rows on X axis, you enter Bore or Drill Array and enter increments of nn inches (or mm) f...

Re: CNC12 v5.1 Release Candidate #2 is now available.
Is it possible that this issue has crept back in? I am not able to get TT or probing to work as it used to, and it seems to be acting similar the the linked post.

Re: Rigid Tapping Setup
Richard, pending your "crossed fingers" it might be worthwhile reviewing the thread on my router where Marc Leonard helped me enormously from start to a very satisfactory finish

Re: Rigid Tapping Setup
No, the 0.1 UF ceramic cap needs to be fitted between Acorn's analog Vout and Com terminals. It assisted me in bringing RPM under proper control and many other folk in stabilising their analog output. You normally don't need anything else other than proper shielded wiring best practice throughout

Re: Intercon enhancement request
You didn't mention air blast in your original post and I did mention "and/or Vac for evac". No matter, if you wish to ignore best practice that's your choice of course. For finish cuts in Intercon, suggest your refer to the Mill manual chapter 10 and the section on Sub Programs, specifical...
