Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Re: Re: Small(ish) scale CNC miller

Hi,

I'll be putting a knee miller on Ebay UK, as soon as I get the picturtes
sorted and someone doesn't make me a resonable offer before then, which
would be a good candidate for a conversion to CNC. Ballscrews can be got
from these people:

They advertise quite often.

Regards,

Terry
