Re: GEM-500PCN bedmill - CNC ready

Doug,

I agree with the buyer beware part...

However, it is fairly common for an asian machine to be better than
its english documentation.

I would want to know what the rapid is, as I agree , 79IPM is too
slow. It also doesn't make sense for it to be that slow, which is why
I suspect a translation error.

Hope this helps.
