Made a hell of a mess with little green plastic shavings!
Anybody got one? Anybody want to get rid of one? :-)

This machine also could be used to produce beautiful wooden plaques. If you
_do_ find one of these, I'd suggest you buy or rig up a chip removal system.
Letting the chips fall where they may will greatly reduce tool life and also
produce imprecise cuts.
