    This thread is about using an Acorn for a lathe. Keep it on topic please.

    Hi
    I think I started this thread.

    I was not expecting the feedback I got.

    In my workshop I have a virtual box titled "stuff I do not know". It is large and overflowing. Thanks to the information in the thread, which I have followed closely, the virtual box is still full but no longer overflowing.

    Oh, and I have now developed a plan. I will purchase a Mach 3 licence and see where that leads. If/when I get my head around it, l will follow Gerry's suggestion and using google, download Windows 10 onto my asus and then look at Acorn. My objective is to live long enough to complete my current project list.

    That list cuts out at 99! That is 17 years from now!

    Thanks so much to you all for your information, help and encouragement.

    Woodie

    just read over this thread...and what's missing in the discussion is that Acorn has real Lathe Spindle Encoder feedback! .... that means that the position of the tool is electronically locked to the spindle (when in that mode) so, professional Threading and Tapping can be achieved.
    for instance...during a threading cycle if the spindle starts to slow down due to the force generated by the cut the Acorn closes the loop and knows the spindle position at all times! Acorn slows down (or speeds up) the tool to keep the tool perfectly on target. in my opinion..a critical feature for any lathe. . enjoy!
