Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] cheapskate CNC mill & lathe

Peter;
My wife is flying to Australia in December and will stop in KL. If you can
give me some more details of your machine I might be able to send some parts
along with her. How big is the Unimat, what is already available there and
can you get help making parts to put it together?

The other problem is getting through customs. Malaysian customs officials
like to confiscate electronic things from travelers. We might need some
documentation to show them.
