As a guy who's worked in CNC shops for just about 20 years in some way, shape, or form, accuracy and efficiency are important to me. My reason for building a suite of tools for CNC job shops is that I want to be able to take a few things off of your list of stressors. Making things work in this day and age is difficult. I hope that you find what I build to be helpful!
