Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Types of retro-fits??

Jon, Thanks for the pictures of your equipment.

One question: I remember you writing good things about the coolants you
use. I did not remember you mentioning that you have a problem with them
becoming rancid. Is this a problem with your present coolant?

Tom

PS. I still want to get up to visit you.
