I am a pen maker, and want to be able to do two things:
1. Engrave lettering on the pen
2. Route pockets/inlays (similar to the designs on pool cues)
I am looking at this design CrankOrgan: Hawk
However, a 4th axis would be very helpful. 4th Axis
I have emailed John to ask his opinion on combining these two plans.
Does anyone have any thoughts?
My plan is to use steppers salvaged from HP LaserJet's until the "proof of concept" works, and if I need bigger motors to buy them.
I will be using a dremel, again unless I need to upgrade to laminate router. (But I think I should be ok as I will be doing wood, and then only a coulple of inches.)
Thanks for the input.... in advance.
Dave
