Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Mill recommendation

Hi don;

My first thought was how big is your class. The sherline is a nice
machine but it is small. The only good thing is that you may be able
to get a couple of them as they aren't that expensive. It might be a
bit more useful to go with a china import or a used machine that is
simply larger. Just go out and get the parts required to convert.

Thanks
dave
