[Spam] RE: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Re: Hobby CNC Plans for a UK Build

Hi Tim,

I see you're in San Carlos, not that far from the Santa Clara area, or even
Santa Cruz area (I'm in Scotts Valley).

We have the SBMetal list, and a meeting on Prospect Rd. in Saratoga. Can
you make it? Join the list, and you'll get the next meeting announcement.
It's on the 2nd Tuesday of each month.

I'd also be interested in the router plans, if it's convenient to send them
to me. DXF would be fine.

If you've already built the router, we'd love to see it! Even pix!
