Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Jig making process for Selective Soldering Robot.

Hi Jon,

Yes, I can beat it hand soldering a single board. Over 3 or 4 hours it would
easily double my output. But more importantly, I can do less mundane things
with my time.

I'm sure that the machine could go twice as fast as it is, but the manual
programming, trial and error process, just doesn't make it worth while.

Cheers,

Peter.
