All,
I updated the Machines Firmware to GRBL 1.1 last Friday.  
I am printing up endstop mounts for the max X axis and Y axis right now.  (Figuring out how to mount these was easy once I realized we have a small xcarve not a shapeoko 2) I won't be able to mount these until the M2-10mm screws I ordered come in.
Speaking of the the machine name. I"m going to start calling it the X-Poko per Morgan's suggestion unless someone has a better idea.
What's a good (local?) source for some aluminum plate and 1/4" shank endmills?Also, does anyone know of a local source for m2 nuts for the endstops?  I can special order at the home depot, but that takes a week or two for delivery.
Paul
