Would it be possible to accomplish scenario two without having to rewire the internals of my control cabinet? I stumbled over this YouTube video showing someone adding a second touchplate using a micro-connector Y splitter. Would this approach work for me? If you get the TT model you posted (NO typ...

Hey, We have a Gauss 1325 CNC router hooked up with an Acorn CNC controller. We are using Fusion360 and have a model in which we have rigged up to simulate our Gauss CNC machine. When we simulate in fusion360 it gives us an error saying: "Post Processor not compatible with machine simulation. ...

Hey CNCSNW, I do see a section in the post processor that says to write either E1 - E18 and G54 - G59 but nothing saying it would write a E54. If I use Visual Studio Code editor and run a simulated program through it, it works fine. Running it from Fusion 360 it writes it as E54 I'm leaning towards...

I may use my probe a few times a month to locate holes in a panel and/or digitize the contour of the same panel so plugging it in and calibrating when needed isn’t a big deal. When I do use it it’ll be for an hour or two at a time digitizing a panel. I don’t use it daily to to find part zero or the...

Would A axis probing routines like this be possible for centroid? I figure you are the person to ask :D Yes this is absolutely possible with CNC12. This is on my list of future features of the ProbeApp but I can't promise any timeline when this will be implemented. In the meantime it's not that dif...

Can I modify the Fusion 360 milling POST to include a dwell time, the machine is moving into the part before the spindle has reached the appropriate speed. I have been able to manually add a dwell time but hoped I could modify the post. N36 G4 P5 is what I used for the dwell I modified the Fusion 3...

COOL! thanks can you remind me is there anything special regarding requirements for the probe to have so it works with Acorn and Probe App? Also can you provide the download link I dont remember how you do distribution but do remember its donationware? right? This is the probe Im going to buy, can ...

I am primarily setting up this little mill for 4th axis work most 3 axis stuff done on my Tormach. So let me ask you this, Are there any specific probing routines for establishing the centerline and end of the stock of round stock that is fixed in rotary jaws? Stock will be parallel with the machin...

I spoke to you about his in the past not sure what post. Anyways the machine is a 3-axis Sherline mini mill with 4th axis. There is 2 tool holding options I will be using. One is a R8 type collet but is MICRO sized, but there is a drawbar/bold that pulls the tool holder into the spindle taper to ho...

Hey all, Im working on getting my mill set up and thinking about probe setup. What are the benefits of using the Probe app Vs just using the probing functions in CNC12? And is probing included in the free version? The ProbeApp has many benefits over the built in probing cycles but it depends on the...
