My wife has been doing a tricky 1000 piece jigsaw puzzle, and roped me in tohelp. While pondering the differing pieces I wondered how they are masproduced. Do they have a series of wiggly guillotine blades to first cut inone direction, and then rotate through 90 degrees and repeat? If so how arethe blades made?Someone must know!! HowStuffWorks was no help.phil

I imagine they are stamped in one go.Si

If you are seriously interested in stepper motors and how to control them, have a look here. you ever wanted to know about building your own CNC controlled milling machine.

Great minds etc.

Just recently I've been toying with the idea of having a CNC controlled router, or even just a rotozip, so that I can fabricate smallish designs from the PC.

Looks like you've just answered my query! Thanks for that!
