RE: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Re: What cnc setup to buy for my sherline mill?

John,

Agreed that you can do it for less if you know what you are doing. You
are very experienced and have none of the fears a beginner would have.
The poster wanted a gaurenteed to work solution and needed to have it
running ASAP. That is why I suggested Dan's new integrated box solution
with motors from him. Also he needs to have it running right away so
commercially made mounts are a lot faster and easier for a guy who
normally works in wood and does not have a full machine shop at his
disposal.
