Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] It's Alive!

Mariss,
I'd sure like to see the pictures too. By the looks of the complex SMT
work on the G320, I'd sure like to see its creator in action. How 'bout
some video?
I'm not sure but it looks like there is 4 layers there, correct? Can we
get a picture of the PCB Saw also?

Vince
