Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Loooking for cnc project book? dxf, g-code?

Hi Tom,

Thanks for the info. I'll see that it gets posted to the SherlineCNC
list, soon as I see it.

OK, 5/8" flue length, I should have guessed that. I had it in my mind
that some sort of undercutting is needed.

For those interested,

This site has info on making a cube, uses 60 degree dovetail cutter and
the lathe (?).

I just realized this is the CCED list, and we're probably off-topic.
Sorry list!
