I moved the profile down about 1/ 16 inch at a time because I
didn' t want to stall my homemade lathe. I used a V groove router bit
to mill the wood because it was sharp and for no other reason. You

The finished product is shown in Figure 12.39.

I could proba bly write an entire book on how to use this machine
but a chap ter will have to suffice. I suspec t that those w ho build a
Workshop Bot for themselves w il l find hundreds of uses, and enjoy
inventing new ways to use their machines every day.
