Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Re: Setup for stepping on revolution counter

Nig,
I would highly recommend to call MVS.
The guy who answers the phone, R.Smith, is one of the best hardware/software
experts
in NA. You will have your long-distance money worth by talking to him.
6 years ago he did some work for us - for me it was a great learning
experience.
I'm not on comission.
