Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Re: Conversion question for peter, was Driving a Bridgeport Knee

Hi All,

Sorry I didn't follow up to these enquiries earlier - work and family
stuff. I'll assemble some of the conversion notes I've made previously
and put them together over the next week. I get quite a few off line
enquiries about my conversion and just need to bring all the info
together. Bottom line - for me, CNC'ing the knee is the only way to fly
as I do lots of tool changes and having +16" of Z travel means I dont
lose program control between a 1/8" endmill and say a 1/4" reamer held
in a chuck. Tool offsets are handled automatically.

Cheers, Peter
