RE: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] grizzly or harbor

The Harbor unit is absolutely tiny. I think my old Sherline setup had more
capacity. It looks like it went through an oriental I shrunk the kids
machine. Go over to the Harbor Freight store in Aurora and check it out.
Either one will be a project to convert to CNC. They were not designed for
it and you will have to figure out how to extend the screws and create all
the mounts. The Shoptask is a simple bolt on the motors task to get it
running CNC. Smithy has a Shoptask knock off that is also designed with CNC
as an integrated feature.
