I was looking at the v4.10 release notes and I didn’t see anything (I think) that would be detrimental for me to go backward to v4.08. I have Mill Pro and am only experimenting with Intercon and rigid tapping. Can I just use the v4.10 update procedure and go back to v4.08 until the new, fixed CNC12 is released?

Great stuff Scot, glad you have it going your way!
I'm very interested in the thread milling process for the mill I'm building. I hope someone posts a video showing how it's done using Acorn/CNC12/Intercon.

Hi Milton,
Thanks, it is really cool how rigid tapping works! I hope to also try thread milling at some point.
