Re: Taig CNC mill

That was me at PRIME. Taig, the factory, doesn't have a presence at any of
the model engineering shows, as they don't have the resources to drop
everything for a week. So that left me, humble Taig dealer, to bring stuff
(which I have to pay for!). I was going to bring the CNC mill, but at the
time I knew so little of what I was doing with it that I felt it would hurt,
rather than help sales. I will be bringing mine there next year, I hope. I
had the manual mill for about 6 hours until it sold - and had my early
prototype one as a demo unit.
I too think the CNC ready is a good idea, as it allows you to use one of
many commercial packages or roll your own - I sell almost as many CNC ready
ones as I do the CNC.
