Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] X Y table (was Re: how the heck to peck)

Dave,

From what I've heard, the table listed for $99.00 isn't very good.

I'm currently working on converting a Chinese knockoff (Phase II)
of the Palmgren table shown on the page referenced below. Picked
up the table on sale from somewhere, maybe HF, for less than $100 US.
I remember that someone else on this list is also doing the same
thing. He's following a series of articles which were published in
"Nuts and Volts" magazine. I'm pretty sure that Dan Mauch has
converted one of these in the past too. In fact if I recall correctly
his work was the inspiration for the articles in the mag.
