Jotham McMillan
Jotham is San Mateo-based father of three who uses his “copious” amounts of free time to tinker in the garage with his CNC router. He works as a programmer at his day job but loves the challenge and satisfaction of creating products you can touch.
The RaptorLoc system is comprised of CNC-machined bases that utilize a variety of attachments to hold your bench-sized products securely. Some of the numerous users that will benefit include home crafters, electronics enthusiasts and R/C vehicle owners.
What inspired you to make this project?:
I've been using stuff like this my whole life (http://www.harborfreight.com/helping-hands-60501.html) . I hate them and wanted to make something better. I'm also taken inspiration from many other sources. I tried to make a best of breed product and I wanted to enable it to be extended farther. I have a whole bunch of additional capabilities coming but this is the bare bones of what I've got.
