Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Creating long straight edges (and big squares)

Hi Les:
I read your description of how to level a surface with great interest.
That is a terrific way to do the job!!
I am truly impressed.
Too bad I can't think of a good way to use it on the vee ways of my lathe!!
Looks like I'll have to send the machine off to the way grinders after all.
Thanks for describing that marvellous technique for us.(even though I can't
use it yet)
Cheers

Marcus
