Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Are there CNC-only jobs, or is it only for duplicates?

Yes! Ever try to cut an arc with just the handwheels? If you can, OK,
then try it for several "contour" arcs in a row, then Z down for the
next cut, .... and KEEP DOING IT for 10 TIMES! I sure can't. Try to
make the "Eccentric Follower" part we have been talking about here on
one of the threads. ;>)
