How to setup and use Gang Tooling with Acorn Lathe
I have written a small guide about Gang Tooling with Acorn
Hope this is easy to follow for people new with Acorn.
If something is missing pls. let me know.
A Video about Gang Tolling will follow the next days.

Added a few lines to the program to use the Cut Off tool as a stop to make a series of bolts fast.

Uwe, This is very helpful, Thank you for putting this together. I was wondering of you have info on the tool touch off you purchased and set up for your lathe. And if you have time to add that to this guide that would be really great I would like to add one for mine.

Uwe - How do you do the block 2 and 3 in the video? This is where you are positioning the cutoff tool and a M200 to pull the bar out to the cutoff tool? How do you do this in Intercon?
