Hi Guys,

I have a friend that has a cnc plasma torch and he makes several "cut outs" of various designs and asked me if there was a way I could duplicate in wood what he is cutting in metal and overlay the metal cutout onto the wood. Think of it as him making a washer and me carving a frame with with the inside dia. of the washer raised so the metal is flush with the wood. The washer is just an example and he makes much more intircate pieces such as you may have seen at craft shows etc.

Would a scanning probe be the way to go to trace what he has cut out and then carve something that will fit exactly inside his piece? I don't own a probe but if that would work I would buy one in a heartbeat.

Thanks for any advice.

Mark
