Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Re: CNC recommendation request

Help is on the way, Haas has a new mill that sells for $19,950 without
the tool changer. I saw one run at the local industrial trade show, it is
the ultimate home machine for a price that is less than a SUV.
Now you have only one half the amount to hide.
Myself I expect I will be content with a Taig cnc mill.
