Re: homing travels in wrong direction

I know you are getting frustrated but maybe it's time just to start from scratch with your settings. Break it into sections and get each section working correctly. Reduce your max speed settings until you get the correct operation of the machine to give yourself more time to react to hit cycle stop ...

Re: CNC12 v5.07 rev14 now available for download.

When I save the G30 settings to machine Z 0 then home the machine, that is when I notice the G30-Z value is being over-written with the G30 X value. If I save the G30 settings, then exit, restart CNC 12, then home, that is when I notice the over-write of G30-Z. It could also be over-written when zer...

Re: CNC12 v5.07 rev14 now available for download.

During re-calibrating my machine auto-square from prior issue, I discovered the following issue. I use G30 for my tool touch off plate to measure tool Z-Offset. The G-30 Z value is being over-written at what I presume machine homing or Z part zero to the Y value. I have been able to repeat the condi...

Re: Add on laser, need opinions

I ordered an Ox Laser module 5W from Amazon and made a mount on my dust shoe for easy mounting when I use it. Everything is packaged on the laser module (no additional boards/controls) so I just have a 4 pin molex near the spindle that I plug into the unit's pigtail, then use the mean-well power sup...

Re: Router-machined countersink holes?

Check out Drillman1 on ebay, they have various countersink endmills. Not sure what CAD/CAM program you are using, with Vectric V-Carve you could use one of his inexpensive 1/8" endmill or ball nose endmill for tapered countersink.

Re: Centroid CNC12 v5.07 REV12 BETA is now available.

With Z limit enabled in WMPG settings in Wizard, When you use the jog -/+ buttons on the WMPG, the 100x m...

Re: Centroid CNC12 v5.07 REV12 BETA is now available.

One other item I noticed on the WMPG jogging is the setting for Z speed limit Zx100=Zx10 does not appear to limit to x10 after homing and prior to Z-zero . The Z movement with the WMPG set on 100x is 100x speed until you touch off the z reference ( Bed or material ), then appears to function correct...
