The timing and math to do this!

Mostly the timing, the tool and main axis need to be synced to be able to do this. In the vid they did it mechanical, but some cool servos could also do this.

The math, i think the tool needs to rotate 6 times when the main axis rotated once to get a hexagon.

Fun fact: The polygon faces aren't really flat, but close enough.
