Nice work Joe!
I see you are milling small slots to locate perpendicular sections to each other...... I enquired about doing just that in another forum with almost no reaction.
It seems to make sense to me ( no expert) What better way to ensure components are aligned correctly?

How have you found the process? A good idea or problematic?

I'm considering doing the same thing...when I eventually start my own build.

I see you have maximised the distance between your x rails, by placing them top and bottom of the Gantry.
Did that make things excessively more difficult?
