I'll rephrase that: "Almost any offer considered."
I’m looking to sell my modified Sherline CNC mill due to health & age problems. I have invested a lot of time & money in it and would like to pass it along to someone that can give it a home & get...
You must have a PC that has a parallel port & will start in the DOS mode. Windows 98 is the latest OS that has the option to start in either mode. Just pick up an old 386 or 486 PC, load WIN 98 &...
Awesome build; please keep the posts coming! Did you have to stress-relieve it or did you figure a way around it?
May I suggest checking out the Centroid Acorn for the control? Hardware &...
Wow, now THAT is an amazing project!:cheers: Your post sorta got lost here in the "Do it yourself" forum. I know you did it yourself but it would probably get more views & would share your obvious...
Oops, I totally missed the line mentioning Clearpaths. Sounds like you're on you way!:cheers:
The largest transformer most likely steps down the AC line voltage which is then changed to DC with a square wave rectifier then smoothed with the large cap. This would supply power to the servo...
If no one can help you here, ask the guys over on the Centroid forum: https://centroidcncforum.com/viewforum.php?f=64&sid=0dff30ede31b6e877b0af71dd6470a30
Definitely do what Sam said above if you're already Linux savvy or have the time & smarts to learn it. If you want to spend a bit more money (and less frustration than using Mach3-4) for a reliable...
Marty over on the Centroid forum strongly recommends an isolation device when connecting to a KB (or the like) speed control. Having fried a couple BOBs back in the Mach days myself, I took his...
In retrospect, my question could be misunderstood as being somewhat negative concerning Centroid or the Acorn system. Nothing could be further from the truth. My experiences have all been extremely...
Can you share what system you are personally using that has a better support system and doesn't suck away hours and hours seeking help if you're experiencing problems? Not trying to be...
Hiya T/W; I have a Denford MicroMill & would be interested in some/all of the old parts. PM me with details please
The next release of Acorn CNC12 software is supposed to include ATC setup as part of the "Wizard." I have no idea how it well it will work across all the different ATC types but since Dyna is pretty...
My Chevy will blow the doors off your Ford!! Oh wait, I have a Ford too. What's a guy supposed to do now?;)
Me three! Welcome to the Centroid-way-less-confusing world.:)
Wow Jake,you've really got it going you way! I really envy your Linux skills. That's why I had to go with the Centroid Acorn. The smart stuff comes pre-programmed on its onboard Beagle Bone.;)

I try not post in contentious or negative threads usually but in this case I have to relate my experiences & voice an opinion since so much time and effort was expended by Ray to flame Acorn &...
+1 on that! Find yourself a decent ORAC, get one of the exciting new Centroid Acorns to retrofit it around & you'll be all set. You'll need the Acorn's high resolution encoder input for good...
Hiya Kalbin, if I've interpreted your post correctly you ordered one Acorn with 2 Pro upgrades? If so you may want to get another Acorn now while they are a bit cheaper & save yourself some trouble...

I'm definitely no expert but happened to be perusing the manual and ran across this:
"G54 - G59 - Select Work Coordinate System
G54 through G59 select among the six regular work coordinate...
Didn't mean to come across as "Please write a Centroid PP for me" but could someone please point me at an existing one that is the closest generic one?
Hello,

Centroid Oak or All-In-One-DC board? Their software & support sure is good!
I have the Acorn board, a W10 PC and 23" touchscreen monitor all working together nicely on the Acorn "bench test." I bought it for a new fixed gantry mill I am building with plans to buy another...
