                              Using the CNC machi ne as a plotter allows you to generate full-
                              size draw ings of patterns for woodworking projects, as it allowed
                              me to plot a stai ned gla ss design on a single large piece of paper.
                              You can reproduce any design or drawing using th e best pen to
                              plot on your material of choice.

                              The next tool that I mounted in the penholder was a mechanical
                              engraving too l. This tool is inexpens ive and available at most
                              hardware stores. It is pictured in Fig ure 12 .7.

                              I decided to engrave on a piece of aluminum to dete rmi ne the
                              smallest size of text the engraver could reproduce with readable
                              text. Figure 12.8 shows the text sizes engraved in aluminum with
