Had you thought about setting up a webcam and broadcasting?

Can I get the dates? I've been unable to find a PDF on the other thread. I believe you when you say it is there, but in my screen... nada.

It looks like their was a video camera there. Any chance it might be broadcast? Look at the size of that shop!! It looks bigger then my whole house!! Sounds like it was an inspiring (oops I mean Aspiring!) gathering...

A copy of the PowerPoint I used for the talk on "Designing For Rotary" is available at:

[CODE]

[/CODE]I tried to include material for non-rotary users so they could see how to take round designs and use them for flat machining.

I did NOT use every slide. That would have been death by PowerPoint, but I wanted to be prepared for questions regarding some of the rotary gadgets.

Randall,
That looks like it was an excellent presentation I am sorry I wasn't there to see it. I just bought a second CNC (used PRT 120X60) and hope to be able to use an indexer with it.

When you were listing all of the attributes of South Dakota you forgot to mention the Corn Palace in Mitchell
