that's great to hear man:-) As I've said the hard part is done and I'm looking forward to either share my findings with the community or for Sparx to reenable cross grinding themselves. All I need now is basically someone who's willing to ship his/her empty/used or new cross grinding ring. The original one! not the (XG 1,2,3...) commercial version! I'll send it back no matter what, and I won't damage the ring :D An empty ring is perfectly fine. Finally, collecting lots of ring data would be beneficial as well. The original cross grinding ring is key to being able to compare the stored data with the commercial version!!! All that's left to do is to fully understand the data that's stored on the cross grinding rings. Fire and radius rings are working already but that'S not the main objective and I can't make that publicly for safety reasons. The main objective must be to get cross grinding enabled! I know (but can't publish yet) how the detection is working:D

Hi, longterm lurker here. I just wanted to let you guys know, that I'm very close to reenabling cross grinding on the ES machines. I need to collect some more data now but I'm fully confident that I've a working solution going:-). What I still need to validate: - a used/empty/new ES cross grinding ring - a used/empty/new commercial ring - a used/empty/new (5/8, 1/2, 11/16, 3/4) ES ring 2. community members who are willing to send some screenshots from their smartphones/ or text editor^^:D - In general as much ring data as we can get!!!! everyone who owns some of these rings can help by collecting data! I'd also need someone who's willing to ship at least an empty/used/new (old) cross grinding ring. I'll pay for the shipping and for the ring in case it isn't empty yet. I've my hands on three commerical rings already, but I still need to validate my results. As I've said empty or nearly empty rings are good enough! pm me anytime:-) It won't matter if it's empty or not. That part has easily been solved:-) Just to let you guys know. Before even thinking about releasing what I've found, I'll give the Sparx team a chance to reconsider their approach.I'd love to see them reintroduce cross grinding for all of us and I think Russ can pull this off! That's the only objective! I can't go into further details. My intend isn't/wasn't to harm their business in any sort or form. They fully deserve their success. Exactly, as much as we deserve to get cross grinding back:-)
