Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Spindal options

Hi, foredom machines are very nice, however after being in the jewelry biz
polishing silver by the hour, i found the flex drive shaft a bit tender for
continous hard work. The shaft will burn up if used to carve a ball/claw
foot on a wooden chair leg, just not quite up to the task of "Heavy" but
does a hell of a job for intermitted stuff. those cables cost more than 2
Dremmel motor tools does. A laminate router is built for tuff work..cul
