I haven't yet received my millions. You are at least honest...I love these number games.<br /> (I am just starting out with CNC and one really has to think hard where zero is, it is rarely the nadir or zenith. <br />In the olden days of capstan lathe automation.. I think you use turret not capstan. Tool setters only had to work in the machining order, feeds, and speeds. Posh American machines like Hardinge with power to the turret tools really stretched me. No space for an air gauge on the capstan. No Cassette tool selection. Daft buggers.)<br />I like American HiTech. You share. Here we dress knowledge up in mumbo jumbo as most teachers don't have a clue what they are talking about, they have to as ours regard knowledge as power. Haas came from nowhere and are great machines. Not so good in F1 but they will get there.ADRIANhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07113961163396562781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2286321024842109960.post-29056892291567135092017-10-02T16:46:59.873-04:002017-10-02T16:46:59.873-04:00Smiling at Emma's comment.
