Yep...that's me. lol
I have the servo version.
I've turned the mill on 3 days in a row and two of those days mach3 didn't want to play and I had to power cycle the machine again before I could run a part. The first day, it glitched after the warm up...the next day, right after it fired up....couldn't even home the machine. third day it actually played nice. Mach has more than paid for itself, but it's also cost me more in broken tooling and Haimer probe tips. The USB hanging up and breaking tips is probably a windows issue......but the Acorn will do away with that too.
I'll be looking to use the upgraded software. I bought a used Reinshaw probe and tool setter awhile back. I haven't been in any hurry to set it up since I don't want mach to smash it. lol Another friend converted an older mill he bought to the Acorn and loves it. I had the shop shut down for a few months....I should have done the conversion then.
Too much going on in the next couple of months, but I can start acquiring parts.
I use a Edge Precision tool setter and the Haimer for work offset.....very happy with both of them, but there's definitely times where I know a probe will do it faster and more easily. That's good news about the probing upgrades. I think I saw the app back when I bought the probe and was looking into all of that stuff.
I'll be looking forward to seeing any pictures you're willing to share. Thanks!!!
