Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] 1 oz. plastic injection machine ??

I don't have a picture but it is basically a lever action type machine. It
uses a heater block and a thermostat to control the temperature. I use cut
up film containers for the plastic. It is not to fast but may be faster than
making them on a lathe. If the part is complex it may be loads faster. Dan
