Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Small Problem-how 'bout stepperworld.com

WeyLand,
Are you familiar with: http://stepperworld.com/

You wont have to jar loose that retirement fund with his pricing, if you can
get by with what he offers...........

He does have a higher power driver coming out real soon, in fact I have seen
it. You can e-mail him for details I am sure. Quality looks good. His
Tutorials are very well done. Pricing is unheard of !

Chris Luebke

I just ordered the SP-3/HT kit to play with.
