RE: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] EMC and Rounded Corners

Bill, Thanks for the info. No I don't have any pictures of the machine yet
but I intend to take some and will try to post them in the files section of
the group. It's not painted, just some rusty iron. It's probably is not much
to look at for most people but it was a thing of beauty for me to see it
make that first cut. Thanks to everyone on the list that shared their
knowledge.

Terry
