Technical reference online (beware the sales pitch!)

Hi list,
I explored that Techno-Isel link I just posted, and found it to be
part of an online copy of their catalog. I'm posting the link to the
table of contents here:
http://www.techno-isel.com/Tic/H830/HTML/H830P005.htm
The P005.htm at the end is the page number (from the catalog). Within
each "heading", T-I has provided convenient next/previous links at
the bottom of each page. But they DON'T link "across" headings.
So you just type the page ya want direct in your browser. Using those
last three digits before the "dot-htm".
The engineering section may be useful to those designing/deciding.
For those who don't know, Techno-Isel is the N. American "branch" of
the German company, which sells about 500 CNC machines worldwide each
month! Herb Arum in N.Y., used to be the "main man" in the USA. They
are a branch of the Designatronics/Stock Drive Parts/Sterling
Instruments/ etc. corporate group.
Not to start a war here, but some "quirks" of their machines are the
use of ballscrews with a SIMPLE mount at one end, motor at the other,
like we have been lately discussing. Also their much "advertorial-ed"
linear bearings have only 2 ball tracks, compared to the 4 or 5 of
competing linear systems they compare themselves to.
Most of their sales literature is good, as long as you realise the
above-mentioned "Advertorial" nature. They make some FALSE
statements, but present them with such authority that beginners may
be "bamboozled".
Still, the machines work for HUNDREDS of people, the engineering
calcs are reliable(just remember the constants are for THEIR
systems!), and the machine assemblies and parts may be useful for
using or learning.
Hope this helps.
