So I got the mini CNC (3018) the other day and put together. Had some time today to play with it a bit and figure out how I could make it useful. I used a program called easel to make a pattern for the slip sleeves for my slipjoints. I HATE cutting leather and wanted to see if this could do the job. After my 2nd try I was pleasantly surprised. It actually did a decent job. The holes all line up and edges are symmetrical. I think I can probably dial it in a little better but here are some pics. Took about 10 min from setting up the machine to finish. The only thing I did afterwards was run a groove in the thread line and skive the edges. Just need to glue up, finish the edges and sew.
I'm anxious to see what else this little devil can do. Anyone else have experience with these?
