RE: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Re: Future CNC man

Hate to point out the obvious, but if someone needs more capacity than a
Taig or Sherline, only has room for a single larger machine, and needs it
now, then unfortunately the dream machine is only a dream. Sounds good once
it is in production, but is vaporware at the moment.

I find it quite interesting how many people that have no experience with a 3
in 1 and have never converted one to CNC have such strong opinions on it.
Yes we should all have a full size Bridgeport mill and a 10 hp lathe with
both set up as full true servo CNC machines, but this is the real world with
real world compromises required.
