Upcoming Mill Turn improvements

Post by suntravel »

G17 / 18 /19 work planes with G2/3 arcs in all planes is ready to go in the lathe software for the next update

G28 will now also drive the Y axis, not only XZ like usual with the lathe software.

I am really happy that Centroid is also working on advanced stuff since most customers are fighting with basic stuff. ;)

The super smooth Centroid motion control is IMHO perfect for +4 axis machines and the documentation +1 for retrofitters with CNC experience but little knowledge in electronics if they are willing to read the manuals...

There are loads of CNC lathes with C and Y axis and live tooling out there with old, slow and expensive CNCs waiting for AcornSix or Hicory IMHO

Yeah, and those chaep mills are the only way to make threads on not very rigid machines with HF spindle and no encoder, like most routers.

From M1.8 and up:
