Optimal Settings for UCCNC

Didn't you get the Stepcraft Screenset software together with the mill?

DerRoy: Glad I read this post as I (too) was unaware of screenset for the Kress. I just assumed that because it does not have a controller (like the costly HF-500 Watt spindle) that the UCCNC screens would only allow limited operations. The CNCDrive software folk are NOT proactive in supporting their client base. I am a recent purchaser of the software, and NEVER hear about upgrades (maybe that's because my UCCNC was bundled w/ StepCraft SC2-600, rather than outright purchase).

Hi,

the Stepcraft Screens are fully functional also when using a KRESS. You just adjust the rpm of the KRESS by the switch on top of the KRESS.

The new software announcements and also test versions are announced here: CNCDrive Forum
Stepcraft never announced updates for UCCNC so far, even you purchased it together with the unit.
You can always download the latest version from that forum and just install it over the current version.

Thanks, DerRoy, I should have been more clear. You're right that that most UCCNC functions work with a Kress (or Bosch, etc.), just not the RPM's, even if your spindle has variable speed settings. I like the fact that the Kress fits in the same tool adapter as the air-cooled spindle and works well with StepCraft dust collection. My Bosch Colt (EVS) is also no extra trouble to control speed manually.
