If you are asking questions, or sharing information, I see no problems. It
is a CAM(CNC) subject.

support commercial shop problems.

********No One has to leave the list because they sell things, but they do
need to remember the purpose of this list is to help the "Do it your selfers"
in converting there own machinery.
We have several that manufacture parts and pieces that help the list all the
time.

Some of the old timers want to take a shot at what we are doing here?
If the new members go back and read a lot of the early posts they will see
that this list is to help individuals to make/convert there own machines,
whether it is a Bridgeport, or a Sherline.
