These bevel boards and rulers are cut on a CNC machine that's been around since the 90's. It's not the same as the machines you see today. There's wear and tear, quirks, and parts that need replacing. But that's what gives the objects it produces character. Just like old printing techniques, where misregistration and ink bleeds become part of the art, this vintage machine imbues each piece with a fingerprint — and they'll only get more unique as they're handled and used over time.
The character lives in the surface, not the tolerances. Measurements are dead on, blanks held within a thousandth of an inch. That's where the old machine still earns its keep.
They'll tarnish and age, changing with your handling and interactions. Carrying a little evidence of every job they've been part of.
