I'm currently running my 2-axis lathe on the Acorn board.
I'm getting ready to convert my mill to CNC.
Is it possible to run both (not at the same time..) on ONE Acorn board?
Also - I have the MPG pendant. If I do have to get a 2nd Acorn board, can the pendant be used on both?

Re: One Acorn Board - Running Lathe AND Mill?
Yes. I do this and have both mill and lathe software installed.
Do you plan on disconnecting and reconnecting the steppers/servos each time you switch?
