Re: new one hit buttons question

Re: Acorn Lathe Intercon help needed

Re: Struggling with lathe tool auto touch off with tt not at centerline

Any update on this? I’ve updated to v5 rc4 and I’d like to make use of the investment in the TT-4 on my lathe.

Marc and Uwe - thank you!!

What is the voltage with the Acorn6 connected? Try raising it such that the voltage, when loaded is >24vdc.

Also, I'm curious what your six axis will be?
