Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Re: Lathe/Mill Purchase

Yes Knee mills are superior however, there are several simple ways to
prevent the loss of reference after you raise the head on your M/D. For
example, you can fasten the rack to the column so it will not rotate. You
WILL lose the ability to rotate the head around the column but in all the
years of using my M/D I've never need to [rotate the mill head.]
They offer a less expensive alternative to a full size knee mill, also if
space is a problem, such as in my situation, the M/D is better suited.
