Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Re: degrees of freedom Was: Angle Iron Ways

I was actually fascinated with the variations on the stewart platforms and
the calculations for accuracy. You're right, I did figure out what he meant
from the context -- I was on a tangent and sharing that guy's stewart
platform router.

I also noticed that he used electrician's channel stock for structural
elements. I have a bunch of shelves made out of it in the garage, but I
don't think I'd have used it for the machine.

Back t the tangent, There are some CMM units based on this type of platform
too.
