Ive not seen it before as far as im aware.

I really dont get the big appeal of this whole "its a repost" hobby, surely easier just not to comment?

Im VERY confident many users wont have seen it, so for them its not a repost, I dont manage to read anything like all the posts on here, and im on more than most.

Wonder how long it takes the programmer to write the program - even with CAD/CAM assistance
