[QUOTE="vonG, post: 312969, member: 9242"] Funny you should mention Arduino, was locking at using that myself. But then I thought it couldnt do what I had planned. Can it only drive one axis at a time or did you mean that it doesnt have to? I have some ideas for the depth of cut that I can share with you if you like, doesnt look like Im going to need it myself anyway. I think it would be something that you could use in your machine. :D By the way, what do you think the pros and cons for the vertical vs horizontal lap is? Why use vertical? Did your dad by a faceting machine or what did you mean? A new UltraTec cost almost 7000 euros if you include the shipping cost when sent to Sweden, and that is just for the machine. :| Same aluminium extrusion I was looking at for my small machine. :D My machine is only 900 x900 (mm) [/QUOTE]
