CentroidCNC Acorn Update

[@bdp-racing]

I've been thinking about converting a lathe. This will be nice to see.

[@BillGriggs]

I plan to post more videos of the process.

[@BillGriggs]

What size lathe?

[@bdp-racing]

7x12 mini lathe. I’ve been putting it off for years.

[@BillGriggs]

@@bdp-racing Have you seen the plans from Stirlingsteele.com

[@BillGriggs]

Thanks Joe.

What a great speaking voice you have. I just upgraded to Mach4 and an ESS card but it is giving me trouble with spurious triggering. Prob just a matter of VFD noise, but how can it be so sensitive.? Never had the problem with my cheap factory supplied Mach3 USB 4 axis controller. Our Canadian dollar is so low right now that Centroid Acorn would set me back 30% extra in the conversion. There seems to be no end to the upgrades one can do. Closed loop steppers or moving to servos. Big money. Next thing you know you're into a rewire, and larger cabinet.

I forgot to mention that I am interested in your Triple Edge FInder. Do you still make them? If so do you ship to Canada?

[@BillGriggs]

Hi Chris. I suspect your debounce setting is set too low. False triggers can happen. Yes the Triple Edge Finder is still being produced and we ship to Canada Priority Mail (Costs a bit more than US). themakersguide.com

@@BillGriggs THanks for the quick reply, I sent you an email but had no reply. Still the issue I have is with your website, do I just continue with the Paypal option and then after that shipping cost will be changed to reflect the international destination?

[@chrisleech1565]

The total is ~85 USD as I get to the checkout , but this doesn't reflect international shipping cost, only the fixed price to locations in USA only. ie $8.95

[@BillGriggs]

@@chrisleech1565 You are correct. There is an email listed on the website. Send me an email and I will get a shipping quote for you.
