What cheap or homemade item in your shop would you convert into a CNC template first?

People are posting great shop-made hacks right now. If you’ve built a jig, clamp, or fixture that works but isn’t repeatable, a simple 2D template can make it consistent every time. With WebCAM CNC you can trace a part photo, choose raster or offset based on the detail you need, and export GRBL/FluidNC-ready G-code in minutes. Preview your toolpath in the browser → to catch tool marks or bad feed choices before you cut.

Share a photo or short description of your handmade tool. Which toolpath would you try first? What bit and feedrate would you use? I’ll jump in with tips on settings or a quick sample workflow if you post a pic. Which shop hack should become a CNC staple?
