Centroid Allin1DC CNC Control Installation Videos by Marty's CNC Garage
Allin1DC project overview.
Marty gives us an overview of the Allin1DC CNC retrofit project machine.
Building a computer for CNC use
Marty shows us how he built a PC for CNCPC duty that meets the Centroid Minimum PC performance requirements. A step by step video showing the CNCPC build.
DC Servo Motor encoder upgrade
Marty shows us how he upgraded the servo motor encoders on the existing DC servo motors that came with the machine for better performance.
Bench Testing the Allin1DC CNC Controller
Marty shows us how to follow the Allin1DC installation manual and bench test the Allin1DC before installing in the electrical cabinet.
Preparing the Machine tool and electrical cabinet
Marty shows us how he has prepared his machine for the Allin1DC installation. Limit Swtiches.

CNC Software Initial Configuration: PID, Estop, Limit and Encoder testing.
Marty shows us how to setuip the Centroid CNC control initial configuration for PID, Estop, Limits and Encoder testing.
Servo Motor Runaway Explanation
Marty explains why a DC servo motor will run away if it is wired wrong.
Servo Motor preliminary testing and belting to the machine
Marty shows how to test and belt up the servo motors to the machine.
Axis direction explained.
Marty shows us the proper setup of Axis direction movement.
Properly reversing servo motor direction explained.
Marty shows us the properly swap axis movement direction.
Setting up Home Switches and Homing the machine off switches.
Marty shows us how to setup home switches and get the machine homing off the swtiches.
How to determine accurate Overall Turns per inch (Fine DRO Adjustment)
Marty shows us how to set up the overall turns ratio accuracy (how many turns of the motor yeilds one inch of table travel) of the machine using precision guage blocks.
Setting Up Software Travel Limits
Marty shows us how to set up the software travel limits.
Parking and Shutting down the CNC control and machine
Marty shows us how to use the shut down features of the Centroid CNC control.
Centroid CNC Systems Test
Marty shows us how to run through the CNC Systems Test to make sure the machine is ready to make parts.
Allin1DC CNC control retrofit upgrade project wrap up video
Marty gives us a wrap up history and overview of his Allin1DC CNC control retrofit upgrade project.
Cutting first Job with the Allin1DC retrofitted machine.
Marty shows us how he uses the newly updated allin1dc cnc knee mill to modify motor mounts for his next retrofit!
CNC Mill Training Video
This is a older CNC mill operator training video. While it may be old, most all of the video still applies to today's CNC controls. So forgive the references to "floppy drive" and learn from the rest.
CNC Mill Training Video: Knee Mill Tool Height Setup
This is an older training video, but setting up Tool Heights on a knee mill hasn't change. Setting Tool Height Offsets with a reference Tool explained.
