As a new CNC user and recent LowRider 4 builder that only has a Mac, let me say thank you for releasing this just as I finished may build. This along with Ryan’s Jackpot3 seems like it was the serendipitous time to do so.

I have both the AutoSpin T1 router and the LT K60W laser on two cores on my rig (see Project Cookie Monster - Hydra Head). My mind is already going wild with the things I can do when these are in concert with each other, and I love this quote from your forum:

The plan is to allow a laser as a “tool” in MillMage, so you could do simple vector engraving as well.

I’m sure this would be a big ask and heavy lift, so low priority, but if Lightburn and MillMage could speak to each other by building competent GCode by importing parts of the Lightburn build into MillMage as a tool change and then select the job part that is required of the laser and then have the option to go back to the router.

What I am thinking is how Affinity Studio has integrated their programs to talk to each other. I am working on a post-processing script that can do this, but it’s a bit cumbersome to make multiple files.

Just an idea, thanks again for the great work!
