Re: How do I stop this (Windows automatic updates)

I have one folder CNCT and one CNCT 4.12
I extracted the files in the CNCT folder and run the .exe file as per the instructions. After a reboot it did not show up in the task manager.
I repeated the process in the CNCT 4.12 folder and it does not show up in the task manager either.

Broaching blind key way, will this code work

This is some of the example code for the tool company.
Is this code Acorn friendly?
I can make a mechanical lock for the spindle for my lathe.

Lathe tool library help

I was trying to upgrade the software and deleted CNC12 as instructed in this video.
about 13:45 into the video Keith talks about restoring the tool liberty by copying and pasting files.
He is working with the mill version. I have the lathe. I can't find the files to copy over. Can someone help me?
