Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Force feedback handwheels

Hi Paul,

To be honest I have pretty much come to the same conclusion as you. I
use one on my mill (will be making 2 more soon) and as you say, you do
get used to going by the sound of the cut to get an idea how hard it is
working. However I thought it would be interesting to see what others think.

Thanks,
Les
