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.
