Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] CNC Welding

you can save quite a few $$ by going to www.hgrindustrialsurplus.com,
and search for welding or robots,
you can get a ready mounted tweeco style torch, lots of bits and pieces,
and with a little searching the rest of
the pieces you need for about .10 on the dollar.
