Is there anything that isn't on YouTube? Here is someone using it on wood:

I do need a Milling machine along with a good XY table. and I have gave your idea some thought.
It isnt out of the question.
One thing I am going to do is mount a degree wheel on the table raising handle.
I happen to have one handy.
The thread pitch on the machine is 4 threads per inch.
With one rotation of the crank it will raise or lower the table 1/4 of an inch.
If you put the degree wheel on you would be able to know exactly where you were from were you was.
Stupid and not really needed but I thought it would be cool.
