    A plastic guide isn’t going to constrain a metal cutting tool,

    It’s a lot more complicated than that. We are talking a lot more than just “guides” when it comes to these types of jigs. Adapters and entire jigs that require a bunch of common parts you can by at the hardware store + the plastic parts to assemble.

    Think more like creating bespoke fairly precise CNC stuff to adapt a drill or router. It’s a lot more advanced than just paper guides, because 3d printers are for all intents and purposes CNC machines themselves.
