Re: machining in a small shop
I had one of those and just tossed it earlier this year. Agreed with right concept but cheaply made. You would end up having to replace the cheap particle board and the metal braces are a joke. I do

Re: MicroMark 7x16 Fault Notice
I will check that all my wire connections match the diagrams. There are several to check and if something isn¡¯t connected correctly it could be the source of the issue. I was hoping it would not
