Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] So far, so good.

Sure, I'd like to see some more pics, I have a small stockpile
of 80/20 extrusion and some THK rails and blocks. I was thinking
of building the same type of light milling machine, and can always
use ideas. If you want you can email them to me, but I'm sure
others here would like to see them so maybe you should upload
them.

Thanks, Bill
