Delivery of a Centroid-based CNC Milling machine today.

After a boat-load of back-and-forth, deliberating and intensive thinking and consideration …I decided this particular machine was the best “next step” for my business.

It’s a conversational milling machine with both manual and full-cnc capabilities as well.

The iron is Taiwanese and the Centroid controller is USA. The iron, from what I can tell, is a very good and not some el-cheapo thing. The brand of this machine is “TopOne” or something like that …but, it’s somewhat irrelevant, because this brand (and a whole load of other similar brands) are made by the same HUGE company in Taiwan.

Going to be an interesting learning curve in this little beast.

Alan talks about how he built his Home Built CNC bed mill equipped with ClearPath servos and Centroid Acorn CNC controller and got it all running well. Alan tired several other cnc controls systems using Mach3 and Mach4 with alot of frustration and then finally tried the new Centroid Acorn CNC controller in which he had success. He tells his story of his pitfalls so everyone can learn from them. He uses Fusion 360 and Renishaw Probe and Tool Touch off device with the Centroid CNC software running it all.
