Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Machining question

that is simply amazing work! icant beleive thats a
real scaled down working engine.very nice work.

how long did it take you to build that thing??
did you make all the parts for the engine? and where
did you find a distributor that small??
does it really work as shown in the video?
because , if so.im dumbfounded by the complexity of
that little machine!

great job
