Sorry there were no videos that I know of. This was an impromptu
test. I had been planning to run it on my Ahha Sherline, but had
only had the machine for about 2 weeks, a VERY busy 2 weeks. I
debugged the program on the same computer as the controller after I
spilled coffee into my laptop(fried it pretty good). All the action
happened after about 1:00pm on Sunday(the show ended at 4:00). I
could not vouch for exactly what all the machines had,except for the
controller & that 3 of the 5 were Sherlines. Even with that info, it
is not intuitive that my machine was originally not an Ahha, and has
Anaheim Automation drivers/amps. I am also convinced that an
experienced user could have tweaked any one of the machines to
improve it's performance. Foreknowledge would also have probably
changed the results. Videos are probably not a good way to compare
machines, as they can pretty easily be doctored, and there are SOOOO
many variables.
