Am I missing it or is there no way in the centroids software to do engraving in a piece ?

I’m looking to mill my piece and then label it/engrave, I know I can do it with fusion 360. But the centroid’s software is very sweet to have on the fly.

Now working on powering the knee with a dc servo, is the 4th axis already active on the Allin1dc or do i need to setup some parameters ? And does it matter what encoder speed I use ? I was thinking to same I used one x-y-z motors. Waiting on servo to come in

These holes were done with 3/8-16, 1” deep bottom tap with .200 pass all holes were very clean using mist coolant, no signs of stalling. All the way from 600-800 rpm

I adjusted the VFDs parameter for max start torque, then I checked and changed the hz adjustment at 60hz for the actual motor spindle to be traveling at rated rpm (1750) then adjusted the machine pulley to be max (3500) rpm at spindle with the cnc12 at 100% spindle speed and then commanded a 600 rpm ...

well I got it all sorted out. I went thru a few settings in my VFD , confirmed spindle speed matches what's being called for with in 2 rpm , confirmed the motor shaft rpm matches motor tag when VFD is @60hz and max spindle rpm is set on machine. put a new tap in and tried 10 holes from 600rpm to ...

Very nice. I have a Bridgeport Series 2 Interact 2. That I just did an Allin1DC on and very happy with it except for the lack of torque in reverse when trying rigid tapping my spindle stalls. Might need to switch out my variable speed pulley for a one speed setup I’m thinking.

I almost have everything running….almost ! I’m asking for help with the rigid taping. It seems to be working, kinda. But the machine motor is
‘Stalling” to pull tap out when reversing.
I’m doing say a 3/16 tap .50 deep with step down at .125 each “peck” and motor seems like not enough torque to ...

How can I make a button on the virtual panel to manually turn on and off my spindle lock/brake. Since it a Bridgeport I need to lock the spindle to loosen the drawbar and release it when I’m done. The machine currently unlocks the spindle when I’m in a program and such.
I just got the spindle ...

Great thank you.

Do I really need the setting ring for my probe or is a know diameter ok. I have a press fit bushing that is 1.375 id. It works but is it more precise with setting ring ?
