Re: New Build Steel Frame Router
i updated TB1 "out of round circles/arcs" https://www.centroidcnc.com/dealersupport/tech_bulletins/uploads/1.pdf 👍 From my experience, you can have nearly perfect round cutting with 0.04mm backlash, if corrected and setup ok, but anything over 0.01 mechanically would show up on the surfac...

Re: Video Walkthrough of How I Use the Acorn
I have the Z-Finder from Sorotec, the 3D Finder is better than probes for < 200 bucks, but I have only tested this one from a friend https://www.sorotec.de/shop/3D-Finder---3D-Measuring-sensor-6411-9688.html It is not featuring an angular adjustment, but a good radial adjustment. Kind of soft spring...

Re: Upgrading a Gorilla CNC from Flashcut to Acorn
Yep, I also would use a small SSR, since ENA is not time critical.

Easy way to solve this is a timer relay in the servo enable wire active at power on.
