A profiling system comprising a profile member having a profile guide element. The profile member is displaceable along a first straight axis. A working head is fixedly secured relative to a work support surface and spaced relative to the profile member. The working head and the support surface are mounted on a head support frame displaceable along a second straight axis extending transversely to the first axis. Support members are secured relative to the profile member and displaceable therewith to retain and displace a material to be worked on by the head. A follower element is fixedly secured to the head support frame and displaceably engaged with the profile guide element. The head support frame is displaced along the second axis in response to angular deviations from the first straight axis as defined by a path delineated by the profile guide element as the guide element is drivingly displaced along the first axis. The guide member is displaced along the first axis in response to angular deviation from the second straight axis as defined by the path as the head support frame is drivingly displaced along the second axis.
