    You can use an OpenBuilds BlackBox (learn more about it at https://docs.openbuilds.com/blackbox) and the Sawstop Macro for OpenBuilds CONTROL: Getting started with Javascript Macros in CONTROL / Library of Macros created by the community
    Currently single axis, but you can modify the Macro if you are able to do basic JavaScript
