Hi
I’m just installing centroid on my new pc. What differences it will make if I chose between mill and router. Is it just for simulation purposes or VCD or does it make any difference in gcode? I’m building router for milling steel and aluminium

So as far as I understand from that link router is a dummer version of mill. Am I right?

Keith's summary, on the link I posted, clearly states the differences in configuration.

Edited to say the base software is identical and can be configured to however you wish. No change in G Code or Intercon programming

No, the mill version is dumber because the router guys are smarter and we know how to spell.
