I know the Roland DWX-51 isn't the most common mill anymore, but here is a tool and gcode I created a while back
Had something I was experimenting with and needed to remove pucks and place them back exactly in the same spot (using the C clamp). Been able to get .05-.1mm precision using this, which is pretty darn surprising, and probably not repeatable 100% of the time, however this could be useful to get every smidge of space out of pucks without worrying about alignment.
If you are clever you can come up with other uses for this........
Attached as 7zip file is the gcode for milling the alignment holes using a 3mm acrylic endmill and the STLS to print the alignment tool in FDM printers for 20,25,&30mm puck sizes.
Disclamer, use gcode at your own risk, and obviously with right puck size.
