    Just out of interest i've knocked up this manual trunnion positioner to allow me to 5 faces foamboard up to 750x400x200mm. Ideally yes this would all be automated one day with the OnDrive Rino units I have but in these COVid times i'm doing a temp improvisation with what i've got in the workshop to test the proof of concept. Hopefully one day this will be a fully automated unit with amazing holding torque and a brake but for now just got to test it works. Watch this space for an update.

    I should point out the top plate is attached to the foamboard with jumbo helical insulation screws and that plate is mounted to a 360 deg turntable, which should allow for quick changeover of stock. I have afterall got 144, 5-sided parts to mill!!
