Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] injuries from your machine?

Hi, well i have a very small 6 by 6 by 2 inch "z" with 53 ozin motors. the
lead screws are plastic nut metal screw, i got 2 fingers caught by the x
axis. it caused the plastic nut to slip and those 2 fingers were bruised. No
other damage but a lot more force than i wanted on my fingers! If the motors
would have been 250 ozin motors i'd probably be missing 2 fingers now! Be
careful..cul brian f.
