Greetings.
As I have been reading about features requests/questions for EMC, I have one I

Good to hear that foam cutting is being added, i will check out the
current CVS and try it out once i get the machine complete (should be
this weekend).
The filament winding applications I am looking at are for winding
fiberglass and carbon fiber tubes. There are basically 3 different
windings I

Some of the recent discussion on "wish lists" and silent users etc. has
prompted me to chime in here. I have been a lurker on this list for a
long time, have played with EMC several times, and have dreamt of
building a CNC machine (mill, drill, filament winder, or foam cutter,
