    Cool, any suggestion on the pitch of the matrix? I was thinking 150mm to limit the tapping...

    Also would you tap the bed or the spoil board?

    No 150mm is way too big, 75mm would be max I'd go with, 50mm better. Don't be put off by the tapping, the thought of it is worse than the doing. Plus you don't have to tap every hole straight away, could even just tap every other hole and use the others for dowel pins for fixture guides etc. This is where a matrix really comes into it's own because it's very flexible.

    Tap the Bed not the spoil board. You'll be cutting into the spoil board and slowly surfacing it away.
    -use common sense, if you lack it, there is no software to help that.
