RE: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Re: Gecko + Servos + Taig Mill

I consider pushing it to be a 3/4" mill doing .200" deep full cutter width
in aluminum on my Shoptask with 5/8" ball screws. What you are describing
would not even make my Shoptask break a sweat. Thought your Bridgeport would
be capable of much more. I know the Bridgeport Series 2 is rated for 4 cubic
inches of steel a minute.
