Re: CNC Depot Spindle with Acorn and Hitachi WJ200

I'm using Swiss's probe app with the ATC add-on that has a section to add a macro for what ever you want to happen before and after a tool change, which cncsnw wrote (thank you :) ). The du...

ATC/Auto Dust Shoe conversion

This is a new hobby for me and it's been quite a learning experience, building a control cabinet along with separate cabinet for the VFD and a fe...

Re: Centroid CNC12 v5.07 REV12 BETA is now available.

I've had the same issue with the MPG (MPG-6)... set to the smooth response.

At times, using the hand wheel, there is bit of a delay and jerky motion.

Getting a 501 Error at start up, which stops loading cnc12, but will load cnc12 when I try a second time. Doesn't appear to be any other issues.
