However with great care fine adjustments can be made successfully.* ## Materials **Timber:** Dried timber species **Acrylic:** Acrylic material to 20mm thick *(Consult Workshop Technician)* ## Machine in Operations Video {% embed url="" %} --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
