Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Re: machine ways

Hello Smoke and friends.
I do know that you get teflon in autoadhesive tape form.
EXPENSIVE!!! For the machine I quoted it for they charged me
270 german mark (138 Euro, 123$) per meter of 2"=50m wide tape
And I needed 7 meters. (We simply will change the design to Kabelschlepp
cable chain.)
