[General] the milling machine

[Stephan Henning]

Ok, I'll keep this in mind then. If someone doesn't get around to it before
I have the free time I'll pose the question to the group again with some

Electronics is my specialty, but I've spent enough time in the machine shop
that I know many of the common reason that the machinist curse at the
mechanical guys for, but hopefully we have someone else with more knowledge
than me.
