You wont be able to accurately do anything with ali, it will flex way too much.

reducing the height will help with the ridgidity.
I think that you could use it for routing wood and plastics but that is about it, but don’t expect too much.

You may also have a bit of hysteresis due to the belts if you try and move to quick.

Any chance of a list of parts you've made for the aerospace industry(mostly the models they are on)

Forewarned is forearmed as the saying goes....

Kip, I know that is said in jest, but its getting personal. You may not agree with funkmonkey's purchase or the viability of what he wants to do, but thats no reason to cast aspersions...

Hey I'm easy, no problem with me everyone is allowed an opinion.

My company makes tooling for casting house that manufacture turbine blades for both aero & power Gen.

To name a few,

V94, V84, V64, SGT5, GT26, GT24, GT13E, 13E2,13E3M, Tent 500, 700, 800, 1000, RB211, RB199,GEnx.............

The list is endless to be fair across many OEM's.

I wondered who'd bought it :D

I'v only just noticed what machine it is !

I never did check to see what it sold for, £500 ? Was it really worth that much money ?
