I've done similar. The house CU label here was drawn in autoCAD and
produced on a pen plotter. Remember pen plotters...?
With some regret, I lobbed my[1] HP7475 in a skip a few months back

Aww... Im sure they would make excellent small scale CNC machines/
engravers when fitted with a dremel...

Possibly - they had quite substantial stepper motors for the platten and
turret axis. Not sure if the pen up/down mechanism would cope with a
dremel without serious modification though.



Betcha it would cope with a flexi-drive attachment though!
