If nothing else, it looks like it will sharpen lawn mower blades. And that's always a good thing to have around.

Id tell him to turn the control box around. Opening from the inside of the base will be a PITA to access.  Lot easier to sit on the outside looking in. And i would move the stepper motor to the other side closer to the controls. Bigger feet and some cross angle supports. Depending on the Cad program he is using will determine the CAM package. Dolphin Cam has some great deals for the Hobby guys. not the latest software (version 11) but version 10 does more than most will ever need.

I thought that was a class act, that Tweak does have a lot of great ideas.

Good to see your machine is running and your happy with the outcome, that's what we all achieve.

Take Rich's advise  

Id advise a larger OD cutter for the Outside cutout, that is a lot for a small cutter to do. Unless you plan on several shallow cuts, To be buried in a profile cut that long means lots of issues.  I try to Never cut deeper than the diameter of the cutter. And a cut of that length will most always result in tool breakage unless going very slow with coolant/Tap magic/ or something that will keep things cool and lubricated. The other issue is how do you plan on holding this piece?

That is why most items of this type are a stamping/ cut out in a progressive die from a long strip/coil of material.

Either way I still need some cutter sizes to create the profile path cuts
