Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] HELP - about to buy Matsuura MC-500V

Bad idea! Bad idea!... Eh, who did you say was selling it?? How about a
phone #??? (Maybe I'll offer 'im $5600 for it, just so's you don't get
'took' by that fella...) Seriously, it'll depend on where you're located,
if you're gonna depend on local industry to support your enterprise. Are
the controls working on it, or will you be coming to the list for info on
how to do a 'proper' retro-fit? OTherwise, this'll probably be classified
as OT.
