Comments sought on new build: A CNC Router for RC Gliders and Planes

Got some more cutting discs (and G clamps to clamp the rails) on the way in to work this morning so I can cut the second rail to length.

I rarely use metal cutting discs so I bought these after reading the description, I was amazed how good they are; quick, little mess, cuts rails like butter. !00 times better than the thicker type.

I've got some 1mm thick ones, as you say they cut through the rails like a hot knife through butter. I've got the Y & Z axis rails to seperate (curently two rails 1100mm long with 4 blocks on each soon to be split.....) but now thinking of making the Y axis rails longer to get the carriage spacing wider. Just re-drawing it to see if I can get away with slightly less Z axis travel.
