Another method is get a set of the KV drawer slide rails from Lowes. Take
off the outer rail, to only use the inner and middle parts. Mount two on a
board parallel, about 4 or 6 inches apart. Mount a board on top to the other
parts of the rails. This is your slide. Attach a connecting nut. (The 1 or
1.5 inch nuts to connect two threaded rods together, Ace has them.) A threaded
rod hooked to a stepper motor to move the slide, and a simple program to run the
motor at a slow speed.
Attach a dremel to the slide and cut away with slow computer controlled
speed. A bit better if you attach a flex shaft, it will sit horizontally and
the cutting wheels are bigger than the handle. Align it correctly and you will
only be cutting with the edge of the wheel, and can use the thin wheels that
come 20 or 30 to a plastic circular pack. Very little removal in the first
place, and you can easily cover with a sheet or plastic. This is how I do my
straight cuts, works fairly well too I can add.
Too bad most of my boards are now every other shape but rectangular..
