Turning and facing is easy with Intercon but I’m trying to progress to CW and CCW chamfering. I tried to look at the pawn g code and learn fro...

Re: CNC Lathe ARC types
Thanks Keith I followed most of that. I found the section 8.18 in the lathe manual, not sure why I missed it. I will try it. So no help images pop up with ARCs?

CNC Lathe ARC types
Are there any videos to go over the Diff use of ARCs for Intercon. I am following the manual and still a bit lost. I did not see anything pop up when I hit the help button either. I would appreciate any insight. Also trying to follow the radius and chamfer options.

Can the single block function be turned on from a Macro button on the WMPG-4 ?

Re: Leadshine Drivers & Acorn Header connections
Thanks for the info Marty and everyone. I am reviewing now and will do it right I know his cabinet is tight. Agree with upsizing to make it work via diagrams and DB25. Was trying to help him plan it out.

Re: Leadshine Drivers & Acorn Header connections
No install yet. He has an existing Mach3 install that he asked me to help convert to Acorn. He is building a list of items to convert. Mine went so well and he likes the Intercon conversational programming so much he wants to move to Acorn…. Leave it to me to have him convert to Acorn!!!

Re: Leadshine Drivers & Acorn Header connections
Ok thanks guys will do as mentioned above. I will share more when I have his equipment in hand. I do know he has the KL5056E drivers. I can easily use a db25 solder cup connector. Not a problem at all. I was wondering if I could use the terminals with a C86 Acorn 04C9C07B-8873-4684-A549-1406F5A98DF1...
