Hi, thanks. I was trying to register on the CamBam forum, but the registration is disabled. I have reached out to the support for help.

With regard to the question about cross-threading, I have performed about 300+ tool loading and unloading cycles during development and subsequent use and didn't have a single cross-threading problem. The cross threading can happen if the spindle doesn't have a good concentricity with the tool holder, or the tool holder gets dirty with swarf, and the nut doesn't sit straight in the holder.

The tool holder can take quite a large degree of concentricity misalignment, but if a machine has crap homing, and one of the axes is off by a few mm from the previously set position, then I expect the cross threading can happen.
