Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] It's Alive, Alive, Alive!

Hi John,

Great to hear it! You'll have to stop calling yourself Novice, and move
up to Technician, General, Advanced, or Extra! OOPS! That's radio!

Pictures would be good, I picked up some more surplus, and am
considering building a somewhat larger PCB router. But then, I haven't
finished my first PCB router!

I did finish a digitizer probe. After seeing one made by a "small CNC
mill company", I decided I could build my own. And did.
