A video by "Axmem" : Centroid Acorn CNC Mill , Rigid Tapping, with Encoder Feedback Warco 45

Axmem says "Acorn CNC controller test CNC milling machine (WARCO 45). Just quick demonstration of Rigid tapping, This is one of the stages I have accomplished successfully. Although this is a short video and doesn't reflect amount of time I have actually spent tuning the parameters and VFD settings. I was able to tart and restart in middle of program and repeat the tapping cycle.... Please feel free to post questions and comments on the Acorn CNC community forum. here is the link.

I am considering making a video with more details.
Are you looking for solution for the coolant contamination please check out my website:

"GT40" posted this video of his first Acorn CNC control installation on a Jet manual to CNC lathe retrofit.

Threading at 1500 RPM- Acorn CNC conversational threading test with DMM servos.

The machine is a Jet GHB 1340a that has been converted to CNC, using DMM Dyn2 servos and drives, ground ballscrews. I recently upgraded it to an Acorn controller.

I added a Omron 2000 ppr encoder with 3d printed gears to avoid plugging the back end of the spindle:

I previously used Mach 3 and 4 and the Acorn is such a massive improvement.

As an instructor at a small non profit teaching facility, the Bainbridge Barn, we are adding a slant bed lathe from dynamics and liked the Acorn so much, we are retrofitting it with a second Acorn to replace the aged Fagor control.

Graham's Emco PC Turn 120 video

My Emco is now all up and running and working well.
Have to say I'm very happy with the results.
Just cut my first real test part using intercon ... Fantastic.
I'm so happy with the results I've just ordered another acorn board for my next project. Another Lathe, this time a Dutch Hembrug DR 133 nc.
Thanks to all you folks at centroid! Great product and support.
And a big thanks to chaz for the turret macro work he put in :D
My turret although the standard Emco one had had all its electronics removed so there was no way of running any plc set up for it.
The macro works a treat and all I do now when I've finished working with the machine is call tool 8, turret rotates to 8 and locks.
Switch off cnc12 and machine. When I restart machine and cnc12 I reference home and then call tool 1 and turret moves from 8 to 1 and sets my A axis (turret axis) to 1 and I'm good to go.
Happy Days.

Brad talks about his Grizzly Lathe conversion and what he likes about his Acorn CNC controller

Marty shows us... unboxing the Centroid Acorn CNC motion controller, wire it to the power supply, and get it ready for the bench test

Marty shows us... setup Windows 10 for the Centroid CNC Software, Install, and setup the software then bench test the Acorn

Marty explains normally open vs. normally closed switches and why it is so important that NC switches be used on cnc machine tools

Alan explains how he uses the Centroid Screw Compensation feature

Marty Talks about the various ways to Jog a machine tool with Acorn
