Re: We are working on Adding Rapid Override controls to the VCP
Sorry Ken but I just don't agree. Keith's solution above maintains the existing clean, look and feel of Centroid software and that's far more important to both existing and new Users alike. You cannot have a mismatch between controls on the same interface especially where real estate is at a premium...

Re: acorn with an old shopbot
Sounds like you are using the default speeds. In v5.06 go into the Wizard Homing and Travel section where you specify homing speeds required for each individual axis

Re: CNC 12 Lathe ARC and Cutter Comps Backwards
Suggest you post a current REPORT.ZIP and the Intercon file if that's what you are using.

Re: KP-3 and TT-4 best practices
If you wish to include Probing within your Gcode programs at each tool change, take a look at Swissi's ProbeApp on this forum which includes a modified M6 (mfunc06.mac) precisely for this purpose.

Re: Trying to troubleshoot some jerky motion in cuts
Unfortunately, I have no experience of your aXYZ machine but consult your OEM manual for servicing if available. Generally you need to carefully clean all ways, leadscrews, racks and sliding surfaces etc before applying lubricants and only where recommended, most importantly with the correct grade o...

Re: Trying to troubleshoot some jerky motion in cuts
Some general observations: - X and Y axes are set to slow jog faster than Fast jog which is the reverse of what you would normally set - X and Z axes are set to 3200 counts per rev but Y set to 1600. Is this what you intended for testing or an oversight? Either way, the Drives must always match Acor...

Re: Does Centroid have axis runout compensation?
You really need to sort this mechanically asap.
In the meantime, review Coordinate System Rotation (CSR) in section 4 of the Mill manual which might be an easy way forward in the interim. However, you will need to set this for each WCS used

Re: No trail
Just a cautionary word - If you use Centroid's Intercon you will need the actual, precise diameter of each tool to be entered in the Offset Library, at least when using it. I use Aspire as well as Intercon on both my Router and Mill and therefore ensure both sets of Aspire and Centroid tool librarie...
