Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Re: mastercam

John,
I'm one of those AutoCad users, and can't resist responding to this.
Just because I can afford to spend $4,000 for a new video camera, doesn't
mean that I don't enjoy the challege of designing, and fabricating my own
shoulder support for it, in spite of the fact that I could buy one for
$495.00. Mine is better, and the challenge keeps my blood circulating.
That's why I'm presently doing the R & D, to CNC'ize my Enco mill. Does that
help you understand the rationale?
