Far future todo.

I'm thinking to add an escapement mechanism to my metal shaper, to rotate the piece by steps at every stroke of the ram, without having to deal with servomotors, sensors, g-code, etc. when I want to make something round(ish).

After that ,it's just a matter of choosing the right gears to rotate the piece around the Y or the Z axis.

Maybe @attoparsec (who has both a metal shaper and an escapement movement as logo for his Youtube videos) has clues…
