Brian,
<br> I saw this at ShopBot's own home page and thought
it was pretty cool. I wonder, does such an animal exist that would follow
the form of the underside of the plate and cut a pinblock blank to match?
Now THAT would be cool!

<p>I don't know if you might have already seen this, but in case you haven't,

<br>that is.)
<p>Go to: <a href="http://www.rockler.com/ecom7/findprod.cfm?&DID=6&sku=5207">http://www.rockler.com/ecom7/findprod.cfm?&DID=6&sku=5207</a>
<p>It's a neat idea, a sort of CNC Router at a (slightly) more affordable
price
<br>than we're used to seeing.
<p>Looks like it could be useful for all sorts of things, from cutting
<br>pinblocks, to making ribs, or maybe even if a guy was ingenious enough
to
<br>set up the thing, maybe even cutting down the top of a bridge (in the
piano)
<br>to reflect the desired downbearing... If only I had had the use
of such a
<br>tool to make that multi-layered sloped curved Knabe pinblock I'm working
<br>on...
<p>One can dream, anyway...
<p>Hope you enjoy. (Hide them there credit cards.....
Mama... )
