Re: Add on laser, need opinions

I ordered an Ox Laser module 5W from Amazon and made a mount on my dust shoe for easy mounting when I use it. Everything is packaged on the laser module (no additional boards/controls) so I just have a 4 pin molex near the spindle that I plug into the unit's pigtail, then use the mean-well power sup...

Re: Router-machined countersink holes?

Check out Drillman1 on ebay, they have various countersink endmills. Not sure what CAD/CAM program you are using, with Vectric V-Carve you could use one of his inexpensive 1/8" endmill or ball nose endmill for tapered countersink.

Re: Touch screen latency, or CNC12?

Or, more likely since this seems to only occur on your machine, there is some process, like a firewall or disk encryption, that is causing the issue. Agree that this could be only my machine. Thing is, this PC was bought brand new specifically for this, so it's a clean install on a clean machine. T...

Re: rapidchange ATC

There have been other DIY Tool Changers similar to this around for a while, mostly used with 1/8" end-mills from what I have seen. It probably has it's application on light duty milling, but as Uwe states, proper torque of the collet is essential. How many posts do you see for broken end mills ...

Re: We are working on Adding Rapid Override controls to the VCP

My vote is for the one button to toggle Rapid/Feed, less clutter. Just a thought - maybe make the Rapid/Feed button change color to the background selection For example - For normal feed rate selected and light grey border background for feed rate, the button would be dark grey For rapid Feed Rate O...

Re: upgrade reverts to free

You will need to re-install your Pro license after the upgrade. If you aren't able to locate it reach out to Centroid and see if they can send you the license again.

Re: CNC12 v5.04 has been released.

If you have a Mill Pro license you will need a Router Pro license when you load Router profile. IIRC you can upgrade from Mill Pro to Router Pro for a small fee.
