That abomination of a Kossel of mine is printing low in the back-left "corner" of the bed. Why?

Never mind. I'm removing it from service. I'm done with Deltas.

Should I make a CNC router table or a CoreXY printer with the bits?

Scrap the router table. I don't think the motors are beefy enough for heavy loads.

Front-rigth tower position of your Kossel was not precise ... most probably. Deltas are pain to calibrate without numerical methods. If you did not try them right away then I'm not surprised you scrapped the project.

If you do not need to print quickly then some Cartesian machine is a better option.

Got a cartesian machine. That's what I printed the Delta's parts on. A nice, reliable (if slow) Folger 2020 i3.
