Sorry Bill going to be a bad boy and keep this on list.
I personally can't see why it's OT
It's not a flame, no one is being attacked.
Tapping in a home shop CNC is surely on list.
A while ago there was a thread on digitising. Personally I wasn't in
the least interesed and I didn't read any of these. I believe one of
my countrymen Ian Wright did a lot of posts on this, but I domn't
read digitising in the aims.
So what it's all under the umbrella
The post previous to the one I made was from Fred who stated
something like
" This could be made for a sherline "
Why isn't that valid?
From the home page.
"This list is for discussion of CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO. This list is aimed
at the construction and use of this equipment in a Home Shop "
Some of the posts I've read are about tapping cycles. THAT comes
under CNC

If I get banned for this OK you make the rules but you or Tim need to
explain why it's OT and I don't feel that a "because I say so" is
sufficient.
Perhaps the aims of the group need rewriting?
