Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Re: 5 axis wood rooter

Dear Doug,
That it would be expencive I could imagine but that much!
I would say, strikes out the botoum of the barril.
Thank You very much. In the german groop some medical specialists make
bone models with a selfmade 5 axis machine that is only capable of working in wax and
PU-foam. but it gets in every corner and the parts look very nice.
The workpiece is mounted on a horizontal dividing head that runs on the Yaxis
and the spindle is on a gantry x and z axis. and it can swivel horizontally. http://home.netsurf.de/ulrich.kliegis/ This is his
home page but don´t ask me how to get to his
machine image.
Good Luck
Sven Peter
