Re: Yag laser?

2003-06-13 by crankorgan

Stefan,
       That's why I posted the link! Why would they just make a laser 
drilling machine when they could also mill. The answer is using a 
laser to mill is a dream at this time. They cut and burn. Milling is 
in between.

                                           John
