Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Cnc PCB drilling machines z axis linear pot

It might need a special, "self centering", tip on the wraping tool. It would be
fine for chip to chip runs, but dealing with caps and resistors might be real
fun. Also, when doing it myself, I use several mechanical pencils with the tips
stuck down into the board holes to keep the wire from snugging up into contact
with pins they shouldn't touch, etc., while stringing and wrapping. Designing a
CNC for that alone would probably drive even the most fanatical control freak up
the wall.....:-)
