Only ONE more indivual and TWO as a group effort???????

I think you need to get your nose out of your sales figures and go out
there and look to see just what is available.
Just because you don't sell it doesn't mean it not out there and
useable to boot.
Many systems also have nice documentation.
We are still awaiting the answers asked over the message you put on
about DeskCNC being able to run a lathe.
I have loked on the Desk CNC list on the Frequently Unanswered
Questions but it's not there either.
