I have modified a Workbee 750 to carve on the edge of boards and also onto bevelled edges. The machine is now 1000 x 750 and has the capacity to carve edges up to 800mm.
I added sensors and motorised lifts to accurately position the work piece and ensure an even cut along the whole edge.
The machine is still capable of "normal" carving but the mods open up a whole new set of options.

Reason for this Build
A friend had purchased an old Workbee 750 which failed after a couple of months. We had already been talking about the option to carve on chopping board edges so this seemed to be the ideal opportunity to see what I could achieve. It took 6 months but the results are worth it, -
