Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] flat on shaft

Peter,
It would be a good idea to file a flat on the shaft. The day I received
my 2000 I was in a hurry to get the motors on and put them on without a
flat, I got the shaft stuck inside the coupler. If you do get one stuck,
make sure you turn the shaft as you try to pull it out of the coupler. Don't
just pull straight out, the coupler will break.
