Eat your heart out, Morris

That's pretty cool!

I'll trade you, straight up


Well, it's not /that/ cool - and I suspect that you'd have altogether
/too/ much fun with a shop-built CNC machine.

For the OP: You can do a lot with the right jig, but usually they need
to be special made for the task. Might be some ideas there for you.
I would highly not recommend the t-nut knobs though


I found it interesting that Kevin and I both used the same inexpensive
trim router.

I think the trick is to dispense with the factory base and build one of
your own to hold the router at an angle while you guide it (perhaps
against a fence clamped to the workpiece) by hand.
