I think it shines for the inlay work. Don't know much more than that. Good luck!

Sir, thanks fore the reply... I've seen those examples before. I'm leaning towards a router table format. Cutting tapers for it would allow me to experiment with parabolic slopes and angles used for producing different tapers instead of a taper bar on a lathe... which would require different taper bars for each kind of taper.

I need a good recommendation for what kind of stepper motors would be best suited for the task... no hi-speed movement here, slow feedrate with lots of torque/power is what I prefer... just for 3 axes... also controllers, drivers etc. sort of like a kit... I'm new to this thing and maybe a low cost kit would be great for me to start with... anything thast would make this thing run

Any help and insight would be greatly appreciated...

Thanks,
