It could cut full 3D models out of blocks of plastic, presumably controlled by a kind of 3D HPGL. Made a hell of a mess with little green plastic shavings! Anybody got one? Anybody want to get rid of one? :-) -- John Honniball >> 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.
