Title: Does anybody else remember seeing this?
Post by: Truckstop on August 08, 2009, 04:15:23 AM

Hey i was just curious if anybody else remembered seeing the guy on the internet who built a table top mill thingy? he called it the Etch-o-sketch. basically it was two large knobs that were hooked to two pots and it had a micro controller that controlled two servos, then he placed a flat piece of . (i think wood) on the rails connected to the servos, lowered a drill bit press thing into place and then could use the knobs to cut away at the wood like drawing on a etch-o-sketch. its been awhile and i no longer have the web link for his website nor can i find anything about him. If anyone else remembers this guy and has a link please let me know

Thanks
