Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Ball Screws & Act

Thanks tons Matt that sounds just about what I'm looking for. Unfortunately
I've Already got the KeyCad in my puter but have room for something better.
It was a gift otherwise I would've dumped it after the first few times of
using it. I did find it lacking. I've had training as a Draftsman and worked
as one for a while but that was quite a few years ago. I did take some CAD
as part of a C.N.C. course and using what you mentioned would give me some
more marketable skills.By the way the scooter is an old BSA. I'm not even
sure of the year yet until I can track down the essentials from DMV. Thanks
again for your help I'm certainly going to that sight as soon as I finish
typing this out. ;-)
Note the smile it's genuine!!!
Thanks again:
Snooks(Wilf)
