I see virtually no difference in the two postings, except that Dan has
been doing it since the list started and the other one was a new guy on
the list. Dans was a bit shorter.

In fact, if you oppose sales, Dan was selling 'vaporware' -new products
that are going to be availabel 'real soon now', while Murray is offering
some real products in a limited quantity available now.

I dont mean to knock Dan in any way, he does have good stuff and his
posts are fine here, and so are any others as long as they are simple
announcements of items that fit this topic, even if they are offered by
a commercial source.

I was really surprised to see the original objection to Murrays post.
This list has had such offers to sell since the start.

Enough, lets get back to doing CNC, and finding good deals so we can all
build our machines for less money- or build more machines for the same
money!!

BTW- the Grizzley mini mill made its first part last night. Not a
'keeper' but it was the fault of the programmer (me) not the machine.
And the pics are up on my web page.
