Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Machining question. Maybe OT

Using CNC processes, and machining on all sides of an object, you should
only need to position the part 6 times. The secret is in proper design of
clamp setups. If there are angled surfaces &/or holes to machine, you'll
have to reposition for each of these.
