Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] My Plasma Table

Hi Chris,

That's pretty good for that size a stepper. What drivers are you
using? Then again, if you don't have to mill metal, just position, I
can see it.

Kcam site is a little funny right now (just a textured screen), but I
thought Kcam was a controller (you can't DRAW in it, can you?), and
Dolphin a CAD/CAM package! Does Dolphin have a controller too?

I CAN recommend Vector and CncPRO, 'tho!
