Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO]

You also may want to look at Ajax which seems to be "similar" to
Centroid without the same warranty:

Another option (followed by me) is to use MACH2 as the controller and
do the retrofit myself. Gecko drives are good, E-Bay buttons etc.
etc. This approach costs less, but builds lots of character <G>
