Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Re: Plans for dirt cheap etcher?

I sell information plans for a living (okay, a portion
of a living)... not CNC... yet, however, the amount of
money you spend on quality plans sure drives you less
crazy in the end (IMHO) than late nights trying to
figure out how to do this or that. I couldn't find
any "industrial type" of plans that I wanted for my
CNC Plasma so I did it the hard way.

Life's work got me into Plans, Plans got me into CAD,
CAD got me into CNC.. no doubt about it, it's way
cool!

Check all the seat cushions on the couch /
recliners... ;-)

p.s. Got my first cuts yesterday on my 5'x10'
"homemade" nearly industrial Plasma Table. A BIG
THANKS to all of you guys on here and all the other
lists that have helped me in guiding and showing me
the way! EXTREME THANKS goes out to Tom Caudle of
CandCNC.com for his UNBELIEVEABLE patience and help
getting my THC operational among so many others.
