Sometimes pecking is the best solution for chip control, on large lathes also.

From C-100 to C-200 is one direction, from C-200 to C-100 the other direction

The direction is determined by increasing or decreasing the C-axis value, no matter if the code starts at C0 or C-75

Gary also builds to order and he has lots of experience with shopbot.

For a perfect running system with minimum downtime maybe the best choice.

If I'm using Fusion for a Tool Library AND to process the G-code should the tool library in Centroid be populated? Wouldn't this create a conflict? You have to setup tools in CNC 12 like in fusion by hand. With the next upcoming ProbeApp from swissi you can import fusion tool libs in CNC12. Uwe So,...

MPG and VCP works the same way, but if you have not selected incr. move, the way it moves depends on the time you press the button ..

Uwe

Do you have manuals of the drivers?

If they are controlled with Step/DIR should be no problem to connect to Acorn or Acorn6

Since Acorn is 4 axis, you have to use hardware pairing with a 4th rotary axis, with Acorn6 software pairing is an option.
