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! :D

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.
