Any updates on more testing or ETA?

Test showing probe of a bore, and then turning the probe ~20° in the spindle and probing again and seeing if there is variation?
I like to try to keep the spindle in the same orientation when probing regardless. Some other commercially available systems seem to use spindle orient to ensure the probe is always facing a certain direction.

This looks great. i keep checking the website to see if its up yet. Been wanting to get a probe now for a little bit. Id be interested i. Seeing a video on digitizing with it. I just purchased the digitizing upgrade and look forward to trying it out.
Will it be available before the end of March?

CNC12 push button Menu driven probing cycles include: Bore, Boss, Slot, Web, Inside Corner, Outside corner, Single edge find, find angle, auto probe for CSR (Coordinate System Rotation). A small price increase of CNC12 Pro will most likely occur in conjunction with the next release.
So buy your Pro Licenses now. If you already have CNC12 Pro when you upgrade to the next version of CNC12 the Menu driven probing cycles will be included.
Any chance we can have an estimate of when the next release of the software will be? Winter is almost over so I will be able to start using the mill again soon. The acorn is installed and ready for some thorough testing. I have a probe and am wanting to try out the probing cycles.

Hello,

Any update on availability and price of the physical probe? I have an old one with questionable performance and would love to try a new Centroid probe. I am however a hobbyist so the price have some impact on what I can afford :)

Stay Safe!
/Peter
