RE: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] unimat classic

Peter,

This list is for any hobby CNC regardless of size. While I don't know for
sure if we have any people that have converted Unimats I do know there are
plenty of Sherline and Taig owners on the list. We also scale on to the big
iron with a number of full size Bridgeport and like machine owners. The
concept and the issues are pretty much the same. I personally started with a
Sherline conversion and now am working on a Bridgeport Series II (about 50%
bigger than a manual Bridgeport).

Welcome to the list and don't be shy. You may also want to look over the FAQ
which is at http://www.ktmarketing.com/faq.html
