Has anyone tried scanning a turning and then running it
It seems this could be done since the cw carves up to 1" thick you could do a 2" turning, scan one side then carve the turning by making a jig to hold the turning blank so it can be rotated 4 times and repete the program 4 times.
This could be something for the cw people to work on too
Put a small motor on the end of the turning, and program the head to just move up and down as the spindle rotates and advances forward.
