Thread: Machine for small work

Unsure where to post this so will try here first. I have been making small wooden and bone instrument parts, mainly for banjos, by hand for some time now but there has to be an easier way.

My latest challenge was a pair of match-size wedges with opposing compound angles; the job was achieved well enough but it was all done by eye & hand, something I'm used to but sick of. Ive looked at scroll saws, linishers, small bandsaws but the best I ve seen so far is a small disc sander with sliding fence and the Carbatec rep was horrified when he knew what I wanted to do with it; shape very tiny objects with precision. Once upon a long time ago, I knew of such machinery in an engineering workshop but I need something suitable for this application in the home workshop. I haven't found what Im looking for yet.

So my question is... what machinery or aids for hand tools do you guys use for small precision work?

Thanks in advance.
