Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Biax scraper/scraping rulers

But Doug,
check whom you give it. One of my local SPECIALISTS
once handed out a Lathe where the 1.5 m bed ran 1,5mm out. ...JUNK
Last week one client got back a mobil grinding unit for his40" planer...JUNK.
You really need to select the indicated shop. Or if you have the experience
rent the machine and make it yourself. Then at least you can blame yourself.

Enjoy the course, once you got a feeling for it (very few people get it and have
the patience for it) it is very satisfying to bring a machine to a stage better
than new.
Best luck
