Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Software

Billy,

It would be nice if you could come to the CNC workshop in Galesburg next
week.

You are correct that there is a lot of talent on the list. When you are
ready, just ask the questions and I am sure that you will get a lot of good
answers.

I sell a breakout board and other boards. I like Mach2 and Gecko drives. I
am willing to give you any help that I can.

I am going to buy a lathemaster lathe soon.
