Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Re: HF Bandsaw converted to CNC

Joke? Sarcasm? Iwasn't joking or being sarcastic. Your right about the
counerweight spring tho' as I didn't mention that....but then that HF saw
has one too.

And mine is NOT a toy for hobby use....even if you think it is. Ever tried
cutting a piece of 6" diameter pipe or maybe a 1" x 8" plate by hand? That
"toy" of mine works pretty well!. It's one of the most useful and labor
saving power tools I have!

As for building a DreamMachine with a tool and pallet chcnger....I never
said I was going to build MINE that way....tho' there are others who stuff
like that on theirs.
