Hi all. I hope I'm in the right area. I am a hobby machinist. I just got a PM-25 with the Centroid Acorn. It runs fine. I'm have no experience with cnc.
I am looking for help within acorn cam cycles like drilling. I managed to figure out the surfacing routine. 70 percent of what I do involves surfacing and drilling. The terminology changes from one routine to the other and I dont understand what he input is asking me for. If I'm in the right area I will be more specific next post. Thanks in advance.

the operator manual has description of how the canned cycle work and there is a help button in Intercon as well.
