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.

Axis configuration in the Wizard, x1 Linear Jog Increment.

Already running on my mill with Acorn, no problems.

Nice new features in the Wizard.

Uwe

Set up the scale in machine setup and use #423 to display the scale position on the DRO.

With Arcorn 6 you can set up scales in the Wizard.

Uwe

Usually the Dir/Rev of the steppers is not matching to CNC12.

To test set 5.08 in the wizard for the 5mm ballscrew, unmount the stepper and let the axis move 1/5,08=0,1968"
If the stepper is not exactly turning 1 rev, something is not set up right.
