thanks for the replies folks...

I have pdf'd the toolpath settings.. hopefully that helps their visibility.
Also two short videos of typical operation.
you can see the clamping from these two videos.

The makita runs from 10,000rpm at setting 1 ... to 30,000 rpm at setting 6

I have not video at the moment of the 2D contour operation itself... these are just videos from recent pieces....
let me know what you think
