This thread has gone off in the weeds from CNC (except for the EDM
references) and none of it is about how to build your own CNC or EDM
machine. Topics about tools and general machining are better taken
over to the general machining lists.

Let's pull this back to the group focus. Members want to read and
hear about build CNC machines.

As always any arguments or justifications need to be handled off the
list and to the moderators.
