Forgot about this thread.
I built 3 controls and ended up with the Centroid Acorn completed in 2020.

The Acorn and a mini computer mounted on back of the touch screen.

Why is the profile of a bicycle sprocket different than the profile of a normal sprocket like one in the machinist handbook?
What is the flat at the tooth root for, I have ideas?
Are there any...

Thanks. That one didn't work. Extracted it directly into root dir. I did find one that did out of the six I have found. I don't see as many machines and no Centroid. MillingMachineSetup.exe runs now...

That is the directory I am in. The file won't run. Has error as shown.

Looking for a MillPst file for Centroid Acorn for V23, or one that will work.

There used to me many more machines available. When I try to run MillingMachineSetup.exe I get this error. I can run...

Got the noise issue fixed. It was just the shielded cable. No need for the massive and pricey 3ph filter now. Didn't use the toroids at least not yet. I do have some small filters for the relays too....

I got this system working, drive motion calibrated VFD working. Estop worked on pendant but that is all I got configured on it when I Started having Mach4 issues and then had head issues before I...

I didn't use a shielded spindle motor cable. I bought a 3ph EMI filter and that cured the problem. I did buy a new cable and some toroidal filters I will try.
Got everything working except all the...

I have a V23 one

I tested this with spindle motor on plywood sitting on the table and all was fine.
Put the motor on the machine and now when I start the motor through the Teco FM50 all the -axis start moving...

I got my head issue resolved and maybe selling a control. I also have a Acorn BOB and 2 boards from CNC4PC to allow easy hookup using RJ45 cables. My pendant is cabled and was told that Acorn doesn't...

How are you coming along with the build? I have the same machine and doing retro now. I have everything from CNC4PC as far as control goes. DGS4 16035 drives and HEDS 5500 A06 encoders with the same...

WOW!!!!! LOL

Someone replaced the spindle brake shoes and when you tightened down the bearing retainer it would hit the shoes and bind. I took .03" off the top of the rib of the shoes. Still didn't work and then...

Covid gave me time to get back to plugging it in. Put it together in 2013 LOL. Having issues still but at least it is moving and accurately.
No spindle control yet and Mach4 issues with ESS config...

I couldn't find anyone to help with this so I decided to just retro the whole control.
If anyone needs anything from this old system let me know. I was not able to make a copy of the disk. When I...

I recently picked up a Robotool that looks like it has never been used much at all. It still has creosote on the ways! The CNC 1000 looks like the buttons have never been pushed as there is no...

I may have found a couple of people who have these machines and are hopefully going to send me a picture of what is missing as far as the brake nd oilier.

Being it did run a few times through the...

I feel like a bandit. I haven't turned the benchtop on in 15 years except for a couple of times for some quick thing. Apparently they are worth the $1000 as this one was not used much but abused lots...

THX for the encouragement Skull. Time will tell if I find anything.

I looked for air input and there isn't anything. So still confused on the air brake reference in the manual.
The lube system is...

Got the mill in and wired today. It fired right up and went through the auto home *sequence. I shut it off and then I get the stop switch error again. Spent a few hours testing things. I bet this is...

I sold my 6x26 benchtop knee mill yesterday for $1000. That was quick. I am just going to pull the trigger and get this Robotool now and have it delivered this weekend so I will have lots more time...

THX for the suggestion. I did read that there is an air brake but didn't see anything in regards to a air hook up.
I don't have the Service manual though, all I have is the program and operation...

Was killed in a plane crash last year.
7NEWS - Arvada Airplane Maker Killed In Erie Crash - News Story

I'm still reading the manuals but have yet to see anything mentioned like that.

No power is sent to the drives as it won't get past this screen first.
My friend has a Bridgeport that is similar...

NOt sure what you mean. It has a main power switch and the emergency stop button that you push to stop and turn to reset, a small stop button on the panel. THe reset button is on the floppy drive.

Looking at one for sale here but it keeps getting a "emergency stop or limit switch encounter" and you have to reset it.
When you hit jog all is still good till you try to move XYZ.
