Hi Terry,

Geez, you do good work.  That is a great looking primary.
Is it also Lexan?  What is your experiance with machining it?
I thought that it was very hard to work with.  Shattered and cracked and
stuff.

Is this more handiwork of that new milling machine you mentioned?  Sherline
machines.
Can you tell us more about it?  Model #.  Options.  Bits.
Like how about that funny rotating part on the base?  Never saw one like
that before.

Terry Blake
Thinking about more coiling in Chicago, but may need a milling machine.
