It makes sense for the machine axes to be aligned with what you see on the computer screen, less chance of human error that way. I like the idea of a touch screen mounted on a stalk, I was thinking of doing something molar with my machine. I thought I even had the right computer for the task, it's an old HP laptop with a touchscreen, and the screen flips around so you can close the lid with screen facing out, but something is fried inside and it no longer works. Looking forward to see what you end up doing with Frankie.
