Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Feedback on Free stepper calculator

Hi Fred,

I played with it a little.

I can see that it's basically for calculating steps to motion. It would
be nice if it also calculated for worm drives, I.E. rotary tables.

I didn't see any errors, but I didn't give it a thorough testing.
