Re: CNC12 v5.1 RC7 (which is build #17806) went up last night with these fixes and improvements
yes on both. - set tool # should have been on the mill VCP as well. fyi..the new tool library i am working on also has it as a function key as well so you don't have to have it on the VCP if you don't want to. - and good idea on the stress test, we will do that! 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.
You could use a harmonic drive 50:1 or 100:1 and 40/36 pulleys.

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

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.
