Dar Zeeling:
Sorry I sounded hostile. Actually, I'm amazed at what modern CNC machines can do. They can save so much time as opposed to the way we used to machine many parts. Believe me, noone knows this more than I. Even in an environment where only one part is made, the machine can do a MUCH faster and acceptable job.
It's now time to move on. I think I've gone into "left field" with this thread. Thanx for all your input, my friend.
