Roubo Workbench

[myxpykalix]

This looks like a nice workbench. It looks like they give you free cad files of the parts. It is a Vectorworks file so i couldn't open it to see the parts to see if it could be toolpathed and cut on a bot, i'm sure it probably could....
If anyone can convert them to dxf, let me know if it is something worth checking out.
They have some VERY COOL vises on the table

No i haven't...not sure how i would do it on the indexer. I have cut some wooden thread on the table with a side cutting bit once long ago.
Maybe you could load a tap in the tailstock and manually crank the tailstock into the wood as the stepper turned it slowly?

I am installing the Viewer and the Trial version to see if I can extract the data to a dxf file and will advise any success.
