Their drawing of this shows it in a drill press. Must be using the
quill for feed control. How reasonable is it for a person to manually
control EDM feed? Bob

It looks like all the stuff in the "Poorman's" catalog have been
reprinted from old magazines. Every machine tool shown looked to be at
least 50 years old. More likely 80 years old. And for what the
"Poorman" charges for these antiquated plans it won't take very many
sales before he has to be called "Richman".
