Hello,

I just picked up a Maslow4 that is said to have been calibrated but never cut. I disassembled enough to add a dust collector shroud and the v.8 belt guides that I printed in PLA. I have not done anything else other than give it a once over to make sure it looks to be assembled correctly. I also have 1/8" bits that I plan to use with 1/4 to 1/8 adapter sleeves. I will also print out a router button pusher, but have not yet.

Is/are there any other mechanical improvements/accessories that I should add now? Also, what version of code would give me the best chance of success? I plan to use the M4 on my garage floor in the horizontal configuration, with belt pins spaced to allow full 4 x 8 ft sheets of plywood.

Thanks in advance!

-Ben

In general, use the latest version. There have been a couple of glitchy releases, but if no one has reported anything for the latest release after a couple of days you can assume that it is probably OK.

note that calibration is the maslow figuring out your frame dimensions, so  
unless you are using the frame it was calibrated with, you will need to do a  
calibration for your frame.
