Question handy mach3 wizard/addons for luthiers

Would anyone be interested in mach3 wizards/addons that are made specially for guitar and bass luthiers ? (like the "standard shapes" wizard from newfangledsolutions)

for some basic tasks this could save some valuable time instead of first drawing in CADsoftware and converting in CAM software, you get direct G-code generation in mach3 by inputting some parameters on a fancy screen...

examples I have made for myself:
-radiusing fingerboards (normal and compound)
-fingerboard outline
-routing fret slots (following fingerboard radius)
-equal spacing string slots in nut
-buzzfeiten shelfnuts (user must also need buzzfeiten software and be authorized to use it)
-radiussing bottom of nut
-neck profile probing
-measuring fingerboard radius with probe
-pickguard tracing with probe
-drill position dots
-scaling inlays (from example G-code) and routing them in the correct position/size
-pickup routing (humbuckers, single coils, etc)
-neck pocket routing (f.nd.r/w.rm.th style guitar and bass)
-drill tuner holes in line
-etc...

Would you also be willing to pay a small fee for something like this ?
I'm thinking something like $10-$50...

Yes.... Count me in as a customer

I just bought the plans to build a Joe's 4X4 CNC and hope to start building it soon.

Please join this forum "Official Luthiers Forum" which I belong too.
http://www.luthiersforum.com/forum/

They have a CNC section in the forum with a dozen or so active posters who would all be very interested in this offer.

Yes, I'm interested. I had written some of those things as VB in BobCAD V20, but then they tossed their scripting support. At this point, I'd rather go right to GCode if possible.

Thanks,

Steve

I too would like to exchange money for these as yet mythical Mach plugins!

(seriously, though, let us know when they're ready)
