Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Latest Design Created with my Sherline CNC

Very nice work! I do have a few questions, are you using Sherline's rotary
with conjuntion with you mill, and what are you using to for software? I
was also wondering why it take so long to engrave the ring, and what feed
rate you were using? material used?
