Re: Facing with Intercon?

Simple answer I guess is not everyone wants or needs this. I would add (or subtract) an amount greater than the tool radius if I need full clearance at the end / start of each lateral move. But there are jobs where I don't need this e.g. surfacing my Router spoil board Be interesting to see Uwe's ta...

Re: WMPG6 Controller issues < usb ports , don't use power save or sleep >

Some other observations that might help: In the Report you posted for the 15 Jan your CPU has a Single thread benchmark of 1515 which is very close to the minimum required for Mill.

No fix as you just need to correctly configure your machine.

From Main Menu F1 Setup --> F3 Parms and change parameter 001 from default 0 to 1 then F10 Save. This will provide Horizontal Front Mount

Re: Acorn Input Question

Why do you need both? If you are intending to combine your 4 closed loop drives + spindle/VFD, you could take a look at schematic S14972 where 3 Clearpaths are setup to combine DriveOK signals using a common 5vdc relay board.
