Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Renishaw, digitizers

Hi Marcus,

Yeah, I've got that reaction before from saying that! It's an old mill,
Probably better to replace the whole mill, as the Y travel is smaller
also! How do you recut the threads in situ? I guess if I had the
Sherline lathe with thread cutting attachments, that could do it! I
have a end mill holder that I was using as a gauge, I helped it some.
