That, assuming you meant mhz and not hz above, may not be enough cpu speed to allow the faster motions wood would need to keep from burning even sharp bits. I'd hit the thrift shops for something in the gigahertz or more speed range. This is assuming you are going to use steppers, with real servo's (more $$) it might do. -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
