Centroid Community CNC Support Forum

Hi. I am at the point of making that first test part on my lathe. At the moment I only have the free version of centroid turn. I know that the pawn is the test part. However it looks like when I load the pawn g-code it is only set for imperial not metric. I made gcode for a very small part myself but when I try to machine the software stops loading at line 19.
So is there a way I can reset the pawn to metric, and is the gcode not loading after line 19 down to it being a free copy of the software. Thanks.

Yes there should be a metric folder in \ncfiles with a metric pawn.

I have attached the file.

Thanks for that. Michael

Hi Awe, I tried the software, however it all went wrong. I started by moving both axis near the end of their travel and setting home. I then moved the tool to the leading edge of the material and set the z axis to zero and the x axis to the diameter of the material. However on starting the job the tool just moved in the x+ direct until near the end of travel and I had to stop the job. What am I doing wrong. Thanks

Please post a fresh report.
Here is how:
Also, which job were you running?
The MM pawn?

Sorry, I send you an old version with a bug in it.

That was with G20 not G21

Try this repaired one pls.

The Pawn should look like this in Graph Job on a metric lathe

Thanks, will try it out later today.

Please don't refer to Uwe(suntravel) as Awe. His head is big enough without being in Awe of him.

Sir Uwe is acceptable.
