Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Re: 5 axis wood rooter

Dear Greg,
These things are very interesting but they are monsters that take big bucks.
I had to rebuild two years ago a 3 axis metal working CNC of that size.
Only the x tablesweight was 1,5 tons. the hole machine more than 7 tons.
Frankly this is out of range.
Thank you for your help
Sven Peter
