Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Re: XYLOTEX VS GECKO DRIVE ?? why ?

I actually purchased a second CNC because my run times were so long, I
figured I could start parallel processing of my orders with 2 machines. For
my second machine I bought the Xylotex drive (I now have them on both
machines), and that is when I noticed the huge improvement in speed. I have
now never needed to run both CNCs at the same time. One just sits in the
corner ready to come into service if anything should break. So far, after 6
months, the second machine has never been used, except to set it up.
