Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Re: A bigger and better machine?

Nope...I went to that site (thanks top someones post here)and have been
reading EVERYTHING. Lots of good ideas and links there...even some I hadn't
thought of. I'm probably going to wind up designing a "dream machine".
This would be available both as manual AND/OR CNC as desired.

Not hard for me...have about 30 yeastrs of machine design experience. Jus
tneed to get these current projects far enough along that I can take a break
and let someone else do some of the work and then I'll get on it. In the
meantime I'll get as much info as possible to help the design work go faster
once I start.

As for castings, I'll be able to do them in my own shop.
