Depends on what you want to do.

CNC ? check out crankorgan.com

manual ? considder a table with a dremel and a pair of posts. The
dremel would be mounted on a sled that is mounted on the posts. your
foot would push on a lever that would pull a spring and move the
dremel.

two hands free, vision system capable, you'll be done this after noon.
