No, it's not a stupid question at all! The short answer is yes, you can run two different CNC machine tools (in this case, a CNC mill and a CNC router) with the same Acorn CNC12 software.

Yes, the principles of feeds and speeds also apply to drilling operations on a mill or CNC machine. In drilling, the key parameters that affect cutting performance are spindle speed, feed rate, and...
It sounds like the tool you're using is primarily designed for chamfering and doesn't have a drill point geometry, which can make it more challenging to use for center drilling. While it may be...
The tool you mentioned in the link appears to be a chamfering tool that is center cutting, which means that it has cutting edges on both the end and sides of the tool, allowing it to make cuts from...
The cutting speed for a HSS twist drill depends on the material being drilled and the diameter of the drill. For a 21.5mm or 23.5mm diameter HSS twist drill drilling low carbon steel with a BHN of...
Here are a few tips that may help improve your drilling performance:
Lubrication: When drilling stainless steel, it is essential to use a lubricant to reduce friction and heat. You can try using a...
For a large hole like 1 1/4", an indexable drill may be more suitable as it can achieve a higher accuracy and better surface finish compared to a carbide twist drill. Indexable drills can also...
Tool path generation: Esprit allows users to create tool paths for indexable drills based on their cutting parameters and machine capabilities.
Stock simulation: The software allows users to...
