    Yes, the new aluminium sheet I'm going to cut, I'm planning on lining up some of the holes perfectly with the T-slots to screw into.. I was trying to avoid just screwing straight into the spoilboard with wood screws as I thought it would quickly get spoiled.. but I've since cut a 200mm pocket 1.5mm deep into it (set the bed for Z0 rather than the Z-1.5mm I wanted) and now dowsed it with lubricant.. so I think that plan is out the window.

    I did find this interesting though.. http://www.cnczone.com/forums/diy-cn...4-mdf-oil.html
    So maybe I'll swap out the Draper lubricant I have for a can of WD40.. and just hope for the best.
