        The Duet can support that, however AFAIK there are no slicers or other GCode generators that do. Also it's difficult to make the mechanics rigid enough to handle the forces of CNC machining, but light enough to do 3D printing at good speeds.

        Please do not ask me for Duet support via PM or email, use the forum
