I get to see cool stuff because of work sometimes. Working for the Army does that. Today that cool thing was a desktop or worktable-top computer controlled CNC mill. A bunch of robotics engineers needed a mill and rather than wait in line at the base machine shop, they just built one from the equivalent of an old drill press. There are sites to help you put the hardware together and free software to handle the Computer Numerical Control of the system.
Oh and if those engineers got really bored, maybe they'd CNC their Etchasketch.
UPDATE: Fixed the link to the Linux EMC software.
