Any updates on this build? I'm in the process of cleaning up my Torq-Cut 22 for an eventual retrofit to Oak. Perhaps we can compare notes
thanks,
Jim

ShopMaster Mill Turn conversion
I have completed "Phase 1" of the conversion. I have the lathe operating using a custom Gecko driver only diagram. The NowForever VFD is controlled via the Acorn and relay board, and I've added a magnetic ring encoder to the lathe spindle. I'm using the Lathe Pro version of CNC12 v4.14. IM...

Here's a couple of short videos...
I'm a newbie, so I'm not sure of the code, but the Encoder Pawn program starts at S2000 then has a couple of different commands, one of them being S350.
