Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Drilling with Vector

Thanks Alan:

With the help of this group I got the job done. Probably it's the clue I
needed to figure the other milling operations as well. Time will tell. In
the meantime, I now have a 4x8x1/2" milling plate to mount on the table,
protecting the table and giving me tie-down points. Next, a cribbage board
for my about-to-be son-in-law. Fun, isn't it?
