Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Rich's penholder

Peter,
It didn't occur to me that someone would think that the spindle
should be rotated to use the plotting pen. :-o)
There is more than enough drag in the spindle drive to prevent
the pen from turning which, if you think about it, is quite impossible
as it is (should be) on the center axis.
