Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Re: flashcut 9000 series mill

Well,
With the various answers about the mechanical portionof this $11k machine, I
guess I won't know until I get to the show next week and find out. Ron had
mentioned something in an E-mail about a new "monster" machine so we'll see.
I doubt it's a Sherline, There was some talk of working With
Prazi..............

If it is a Grizzly, It would only demand such costs IF all of the typical
work was done to it to make it a really decent machine. (can that be done ?)

In regards the latest posts with "how much" does it really cost, If anyone
gets real honest about it, and when you use "real" components, You can drop
$5-8K into a project LESS Time. It just may be they give different figures to
the one who does the grocery shopping :-) So, the 11k may very well be worth
it. I'll see what its all about before pre-judging it.
