    Maybe M&T should market the PP for carving the Halloween pumpkin this year. :eek:
    Mark, did you ever get that egg-yolk out of the PF ?
    I wonder what pumpkin innards will smell like in a month? :oops:

    That's one slick little device... A little overkill, but cool

    Overkill ?? :roll:

    "But Dad, I just want to dye the egg."
    "But this is so cool!"
    "But I want to do it."
    "It's too complicated for you."
    "But I got these wax sticks so I can..."
    "But look how awesome this is..."
    "Okay Dad."


    Now, carving a pumpkin with a PP, that's a lot more reasonable! :roll:

    Remember, Mark showed a picture of one of these he made:

    I think specific tools, like this, would be very economical to make if you have a larger cnc machine, like the MK3. You could use connectors for your electronics and quickly swap it out. I've already spotted a set of 6 pin connectors, at Hobby City. Hooking up all 6 wires, you can also swap around bipolar and uniplar driver boards to your various machines.

    And I like the cheap light vertical axis, which would open up alot of stuff. I have something in mind, for a new machine, if I can ever get around to it.

    Here is a guy who carved a pumpkin with his cnc mill:
