[QUOTE="vonG, post: 303607, member: 9242"] Haha, you almost got me excited now. I am really looking forward to see your machine work it's magic when it's finished. :) You are absolutely right in not holding back on any expenses on the machine you are building. There is already a lot of money in it, so why stop now. I hope it will be as good as you hope in the end, you sure have the software and knowledge to expand it further too. Shouldn't there be a way to grind off small parts at a time, even if it is object oriented. Lowering the z axis microns at a time. Have some ideas to solve it in another way if that doesn't work though, but don't know if a standard gcode software can handle it. Will just have to see when I get there. It isn't that easy or "normal" to build a cnc faceting machine I guess, but can be a fun project even if it doesn't work in the end. Lasers sounds nice. A bit expensive maybe, but hell why hold back. :) [/QUOTE]
