Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Speeds & feeds or Get Rich Quick

Hi again, Wally:
Just cook up a spreadsheet for yourself in Excel or Lotus.
I did, and then I went back to the cardboard version.
The reason?: I found I was wasting tons of time booting up, loading the
application, jerking around with it etc, etc.
Takes 5 seconds with the cardboard version, and it will never lock up, or
crap out.
Best of all: it's free!!

Cheers

Marcus
