As I mentioned I'm looking into buying/building a CNC machine to cut stuff programmatically.
Obviously if you want to cut a 4 ft x 4 ft piece of wood and make complex accurate cuts and contours, you need a machine large enough to accommodate that size. That's where the costs blow out.
Something that big usually needs stronger thicker supports, motors and accompanying electronics.
A American startup called Spacer have finally, after 5 years of development, for sale, a handheld machine, it looks like a hand held plunge router. Basically you are not limited by space as you manually move the device anywhere you want.
It is also a fully computerised CNC to cut to an accuracy of 1/1000 of s inch.
It becomes a machine that can do what only the very expensive machines could accomplish, for a fraction of the cost.
Ad it's portable. You take this to the job instead of taking the job to the factory to get machined.
It blew my mind..... For those techno nerds, check youtube for SPACER ORIGIN.
Well, your idea doesn't need a device 4 X 4 feet.
2 X 4 feet is sufficient, just do 1/2 and then turn lumber around and do other 1/2.
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
