Re: Taig CNC mill

Hi Nick!

Glad to meet you! I recall you had a "full" table. Yes, I wish I could
have seen the Taig CNC mill there! You would do good to have it set it
up and cutting! Hope we can talk longer next P.R.I.M.E.!

Perhaps Taig will come out with a "big brother" mill. I'd much rather
buy something made in the U.S.A.! (OK, I like UK and European hardware
too, I guess it's just the Asian hardware I'm not comfortable with!).
