That is in the hopper (weāve talked about it a few times - super handy feature).

I had thought how cool it would be to have the ānudgeā feature active across any of the handles (enlarge and rotate as well as position).

Yes. The other would be to align horizontal and vertical or rotate according to degree. Yes, you can do all this with a handle and very precise as you zoom in, but these little things help.

@nunzioc: First offā¦ nice bowls and workflow.
Butā¦ for the sins of your title, you must now go and design a full scroll saw, to be constructed using a Glowforge. That is what I came to this thread to see! You tease!

By the way, this is what the one that I made manually on my mill came out like, after 3 friggen hours!
I hadnāt cleared out the sawdust from the cuts yet so that is why it looks like that, and it exploded when I tried to resaw it ad it slipped from my hold, lolā¦still have all ten fingers, luckily

What were your feed/speed/depth per? What bit?
The cuts were 1/8th x 1/8th, and the engraves for the inlay were 1/16th x 1/16thā¦
I donāt recall the rpms, but I manually moved the bed at what I felt was a fair speedā¦and wound up breaking the tip off of the 1/16th end mill, lol. Luckily the remaining piece was still usable.
Well, maybe unluckily, since all that work I continued doing went to scrap anyway in the end.

Well the first one costs 1 million, second 600k, third one penniesā¦
For a first time experiment it looks like a good proof of concept and attempt
