Re: wire-wrap

2004-04-28 by ballendo

Hello Roy,

As a designer, builder and user of CNC machines for a couple decades 
now, I'd say it's a no-starter. For all the reasons the previous 
replies have stated...

Add to their replies my belief that the cost to do it reliably will 
be so far in excess of the other choices we have available. Like 
circuit milling, and TT. And quick turn board houses with reasonably 
decent pricing.

I'm sure it can be done. I'm told Bill Lear had one at his place in 
Reno (Stead AFB) doing it some many years ago (Like what Jan 
described.) I remember seeing a video. But I won't be pursuing it as 
a viable thing nowadays.
