Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Force for foam cutting

Hi Roger,

Foam? With an endmill cutter? Probably NOTHING! Foam or wax should be
EASY to cut. As long as you can move the ways, you should have no
resistance! I think I'd shoot for wood, anyway. Never know when you
might want to move up! You haven't said how BIG this router is to be,
or what you're gonna make!
