Centroid Control Serial Numbers

Centroid control serial numbers are generally 4-digit and 5-digit numbers. For many years it was conventional to prefix the serial number with the letter "K" for mill controls, "T" for lathe controls, and "M" for Magnum routers. However, the letters are optional, as the numbers fall in unique series.

See the Field Guide for more extensive descriptions and history of the various control models.

There was some crossover between mill and lathe designations. A few T39 lathe controls were assigned 3000-series numbers; a small number of T15 lathe controls were built and assigned 4000-series numbers; and at least one dealer turned a board-level T39 kit (2000-series) into a mill control instead.

Router tables, water jets, punch presses and similar machines usually use mill controls.

Cylindrical grinders and similar machines generally use lathe controls.
