Re: New Build Steel Frame Router
I have not build a router yet, but should the slaved axis not have the same settings like the main axis? Good way to get rid of backlash with cheap C7 screws is to use 2 nuts, one floating and spring loaded. Are the bearings in the fixed side at the servo angular and with proper preload? 2000 steps ...

You can type in any Name before saving.
But for adding lots of threads xml editing is way faster with excel

Do you know new CHIPS from swissi ? ...

Re: Wizard turns/deg limited to 7 characters?
I am using a Vertex HV6 with a stepper. That can be adjusted to almost zero backlash.

Re: best Threading strategy
I forgot that you also can save single new threads.
Load a similar one, and edit the parameters and save.

I suggest to install current 5.1 software with the updates for a better Network connection on some hardware.

Re: best Threading strategy
If you want to add more threads, edit treadsdb.xml
Some the threads in there are from me
You can run the profile finish pass a second time after threading.
