RE: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Re: Plasma table gear reduction

Hi Dave,

Don't get caught into the Horse Power verses Torque mistakes. Your power never changes since HP is a calculated value based on
Torque (measurable) and RPM (also measurable). If you reduce the RPM with gear reduction, you gain torque and the HP drops ever so
slightly because of gearbox losses.
