Re: Are there CNC-only jobs, or is it only for duplicates?

Imagine turning a taper 4" long without a taper attachment or a
compound that long, imagine milling a perfect radius without setting
up a rotary table, imagine milling a spiral, imagine milling a
pentagon with one setup, imagine any project that would require
turning two or three or four handles at a specific exact
(sometimes varyingly exact) ratio to each other, all at the same time!
That's what got me interested!

(Sure hope I can get it to totally work.)
