    rossbotics,

    I assumed that was the reason but thought I would verify that.

    Good work and a good idea to show that near anybody can make a tool for less than 20$ material, this device costs near 300$ with changeable heads when you bought it on the market, on this link I give you the design models of short Gepy heads, for me the best maker for those tools.

    Nice job for a small budget, you can see another profile on this page to make a log end, but the Gepy prices are not in the range of your realization.

    Bought one similar to this "CNC" live center years ago. Don't remember the brand name.
