RE: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Re: flashcut 9000 series mill

I think I am in the wrong business! Let's see, FlashCUT takes a $900
mill/drill and converts it to CNC with a proprietary system and charges
$11,000 for it. MicroKinetics takes an RF-31 mill/drill, upgrades it to CNC
and get's $8995 for it. For those prices the average guy could afford to
make the conversion, learn what he did wrong, do it all over again with
another machine and then take the wife on a trip and still be bucks ahead!!!
