Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Advise Wanted on CNC System

hi daniel-

i bought the xylotex 3-axis kit last year and had it up and running in
less than 30 minutes (i also didn't want to make magic smoke :)

there was some recent thread about their documentation - one or two items
i thought could have used further clarification, but aside from that all
went well and continues to.

btw, it's driving a siegx2 min-mill (like the one you bought)

hope this helps!
