Ok. But on a mill without the rotating table, that could be synthesized by a fixed ratio of XY motion. I did that in 3 dimensions when I carved the last gunstock I made for one of my BP rifles. But I still had to bore the thru hole for my thumb since that mill didn't have a tilting head so I just did the ramp in the right side up to the back of the pistol grip. This one does but its not yet "animated". And so far, no good idea how to go about that. No connection to hobbing gears though. So obviously I've not attempted such.
