(I'm making > good progress on GWiz.) Well, I'm not sure a fan cutout is general enough to be a wizard. Maybe a more general thing where you specify ID and OD and number of pie segments, and it does the rest. I did this by CAD/CAM, as it has a bunch of G01, G02 and G03 moves. (I can't now figure out why it has both G02 and G03 moves.)
But, I think it could be turned into an algorithmic process.
