Naah, I think that's only his video. Check this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K9b5T_bUESw Too slow with the standard motors anyway, will be upgraded. :) I've spoken to another guy who is retrofitting these with Mach, it's a pretty impressive machine for the size with threading capability and such. But the controller is (non G-code) proprietary and therefore I can get it for a decent price. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Get 100% visibility into Java/.NET code with AppDynamics Lite!
