Sometimes a CNC job will need to interface with something that was already printed or otherwise produced by some other machine, and thus you need to precisely register the CNC machine's work origin location onto some existing crop marks or crosshairs on a workpiece. This can also require an exact alignment of the existing piece's orientation with the CNC machine's XY axes. This pointer tool makes that easily doable.

This is a pin-pointer tool thingie to slip onto the end of bit in the CNC router or spindle, so as to more precisely confirm XY origin and alignment without having to swap a regular end mill out for a v-bit. Quick print for either ¼" or ⅛" bit. If fit is not perfect, you can scale as needed in your browser. Fit is largely dependent on how well dialed in your printer is.
