Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Hi all ...........I need some help

Hi Ronald,

Welcome to the List! It would be interesting to hear about your engine
building experiences, and how you apply CNC to them. The Gecko's are
fine drives! And Dan has some fine drives also, if you like to build
electronic kits!

Yes, we are blessed with an abundance of Hi-teck toys here. What's the
rule on receiving "educational materials"? Does that help any? Tim has
some Gecko's for sale, VERY EDUCATIONAL!

They wouldn't let me bring back my Gecko's from Guam, either. ;>)

Best regards,

Alan KM6VV
