I am thinking about putting an Acorn on my next Dyna Myte 2400 lathe conversion. But I am not sure how to set up the Automatic Tool Changer/Rotary Turret for the different tools. Support seems to be from the user base mainly. That concerns me.

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 popular, it should work well. Me? I don't do long production runs & just use a standard QCTP & holders.

The support from users is getting better & better now that more & more experienced users are switching from other systems and getting on board with the Acorn. The Centroid staff is great too! Don't think that there's no help from them...couldn't be farther from reality. Like my pappy used to say: "Son, ya' pays yer money & takes your choice!":cheers:

Thanks for the information, Milton. I'd love to be a beta tester for that software and get that second DynaMyte DM3000 running. (Ok there is always the thought of making a bar feeder for the lathe, too). One step at a time.
