Neale, very nice. That ability to make the most of a special bit of wood and add various custom elements is great.

I am thinking that another great application should be the converting of offcuts into something sellable. With conventional woodworking machines you can't really process small or oddly shaped left over pieces, and a lot of handwork quickly makes it uneconomical. So thinking of trying ring boxes, made from any off cut I can rough cut down into 2inch cubes. Needs a bit of though on fixturing, so you can cut the inside and then locate on that to machine the outside......always more ideas than time or skills!

Thanks Jazz for that link, even better than a touch probe. Will need to get a camera mounted then and see if I can master that.
