Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Re: Counterbalancing & Rong-Fu RF-45 Project

Hi,

All this talk about air rams and gas springs seems a bit high tech and OTT
for a small machine. My recommendation would be for a simple
pulley, a bit of string and a weight bucket. This system is easy to fit,
linear in operation, easily adjusted and cheap!
