Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Pin removal, Amphenol plug????

Hi Doug,

This is just a guess, but if the pins work like Amphenol RS-232 pins,
the removal tool is a thin tube that is split, and will slide over the
pin from the backside of the connector. A thin tube rolled up from shim
brass might work, if you want to home-brew a tool.
