Default DIY Smart Saw

For our dedicated readers (and not some shell account designed to drive
traffic to their site), it looks like a DIY wooden CNC machine. There's
several designs out there for this, and many of them use industry
standard software like Mach3 to run. You're better off using one of
those designs than anything stored non-locally.


The "saw" allegedly takes as little as $160USD (used) or as much as
$500USD (new), to build. Either way, that's pretty dang cheap,
considering what we are talking about, here.

With a couple o' tweaks, I would think you can use whichever software
you prefer:
