Hi folks,
I want to do some engraving on some aluminum and brass tubing. I have the Hobby Lathe and my 3 axis cnc. I thought it may be simple just to add say

to the bed of the cnc and it looks like it plugs into the 5th axis plug on my controller, if it doesn't have a 5 axis board I'll use a redundant axis.
Has anyone had any experience with them.. any advice ?
