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

for my 2cents, buy the sherline motors and conversion kits. (I did and
don't regret it) see the photos. Next get MAXNC or MAXDLC software and the
Camtronics 2A 3 axis driver board kit (easy to assembly). I've been using
this setup for more than a year and am more then happy with it. If you want
CAD/CAM software buy DOLPHIN!!
