Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Re: cnc lathe/mill

I haven't done the calc's yet, but I think I can do a reasonable job on 12
ga, as long as the bend radius isn't too big. My real test will be whether
I can get 4 ft sections of 14 ga hrs into 6" o.d. rounds, for a furnace
project I'm working toward. I'm gonna use a mechanical transmision I have
laying around. That'll give me reverse, also. So, I guess that puts this
topic in the O.T. category. Last post on *this* subject.
