Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] re:Re: lathe arcs

Ballendo: This my first attempt at arcs. That may be the biggest problem. I will eventually figure it out,but for now I can do the
job by breaking the arcs into .002" lines. At this point, I can trust that. The major concern is the mating roller must match. So it
looks like interpolation is the name of the game for now. I am not abandoning my search to get this figured out however. Tomorrow I
start making large quantities of chips again.
