Re: Compact R-8 spindle on eBay
Thanks for the heads up Jon. The guy that is selling this spindle has several things that the group might be interested in like stepper motors, ball screws, and a servo motor with an encoder.

Re: DynaCADD ???
I have never used it but have seen it on ebay a few times. I don't think there are any cam functions in that software and it sounds like he doesn't even know what CAM software is. I'm not sure he even

Re: DynaCADD ???
Hi Mike, How about letting us know what you think of the program after you receive it and have a chance to try it out? There are so many CAD/CAM choices out there that deciding which one is more
