Re: Rigid Tapping Not Working - Summary <resolved, works great with photos> >

Thanks Tom. I will keep that in mind as I have a small cast iron project coming up. Currently I am working with aluminum and low carbon steel so it is probably unnecessary.

Re: Rigid Tapping Not Working - Summary <resolved, works great with photos> >

Thanks Keith, I asked this question because I was watching a video from HAAS on rigid tapping with a peck cycle . They say you have to turn on synchronization in order to do rigid tapping with a peck cycle. They remind you to turn off synchronization if you are not peck tapping so as not to slow thi...

Re: Rigid Tapping Not Working - Summary <resolved, works great with photos> >

One more question... Earlier on this post, Uwe mentioned that you can tap the same hole more than once, I tried it and it worked great. Just curious... How does Centroid register the tap to start in the same place each time?

Re: Rigid Tapping Not Working - Summary <resolved, works great with photos> >

I wish I could give it a try for you, but I am away for a few weeks. I will give it a whirl when I get back. I think your description is correct. Yes, the folks on the Fusion CAM forum have been extremely helpful to me over the past year or so. Andrew Laas on the forum appears to be quite familiar w...

Re: 452 Ethernet Communication Error.

Wow... what a nice surprise. Windows 10 completed the update. I ran the communication stress test a dozen times and it passed each time.

Thanks for your help. I will try running some stuff tomorrow and see what happens.

Best... Richard

Re: 452 Ethernet Communication Error.

Thanks Shawn. I keep this puppy offline intentionally. Probably haven't done a Windows update in quite a while. It has been working happily for quite some time. The update has been updating for over an hour, so I am going to leave her alone and try again tomorrow. I read about the known issue that a...

452 Ethernet Communication Error. <resolved>

I have been running CNC12 on my mill for about 4 years. I never had any communication errors as long as I booted Acorn first, waited, then powered up my Intel Nuc (A known issue). I recently upgraded to CNC12 version 5.10 and got a communication error. I ignored it thinking I may have powered up the...
