Re: CNC PLASMA BUILD
Great machine and love the pocketing on the gantry. Just started a CNC plasma build myself. Was originally going to use some left over Linuxcnc parts I had kicking around from when I decided on going with acorns on my machines.

Re: One PC for multiple Acorns?
Mill and lathe are in separate directories so just install and select the shortcut you want if only running 1 mill and 1 lathe. Just move the ethernet cable between the 2 acorns.

Re: Like a squirel preparing for winter..
Neat stuff you have there! You folks that are looking for enclosures; you cannot beat a Hoffman! They show up used on ebay & sometimes already have DIN rails with terminal blocks, fuse blocks, contactors, etc. It's so nice to use the "real-deal" stuff. :) Will check them out.....thanks.
