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

Marcus,
If this is the guy from the north end of Cambridge, all you really need
to know is the following,

-he's good
-he's fast
-he can be as ignorant with you as all get out
- and he is EXTREMELY GOOD at what he does!

I had him redo the ways on a Keilinghaus (sp?) spinning lathe.
4 day turn around, and it came back with a better tolerance than it had
leaving the factory.

There is also a company in Stroud that does it, but I have never dealt
with them.
