What's a DRO? Automatic drilling for PC boards? Do you have limit sensors to detect zero position on X and Y?

DRO = digital read out

I am just setting up the mill so i dont have to count revolutions and tick marks! :P

There is a pulse output from the linear scales which will give me a zeroing ability.

I didn't understand a single thing in this post except the cost savings. But then I am only an accountant!

Yeah.. kinda... machinists language this time.. usually I speak electronics... :P

Rarely english.

hehe. Accounting... is probably an area as foreign to me as machining is to you *giggle*

DRO? nobiusblack October 14 2006, 15:24:16 UTC

Don't worry I'm clueless as to what you're saying most of the time. :)

However if you'd like to ever sit down and have conversation about the practical combat appplications of Aki based martial arts including dynamic self defense I'd be glad too. :)

Well at least, I think that sounded smart. :)
