Re: Can anyone advise me please?

Hi Jamie.
Thanks very much for your help. I had a look at your site, There is loads of info there that will help me as I build the indexer ( and learn about cnc ) . I want to try doing ornamental decoration on turned wooden objects. If I can build my own kit to do it I will be well pleased. Steep learning curve but I am looking forward to it.
best regards.
Graham
