Actually that does have more merit the more I think about it. I do need
to make some cutouts in the sheet, and a guide like that I can crank out
on one of the CNC mills would be perfect. I would say on the little CNC
router, but its in a state of disarray. It started killing Z axis
stepper drives and I decided to strip it for parts and build something
better... yeah... after the 9,736 more important projects that come first.
