Hi and a couple of questions.

Thanks Neil, Linear Rails and Lead Screws have now been ordered.
For the routing side, it will be an experiment with a small Dremel type tool, not expecting it to be wonderful but an experiment to prove I can do it, I might then decide to make a larger more sturdier machine once I am happy. Likewise with the laser, once I have mastered the basics of engraving, I might upgrade to a CO2 laser cutter.
Thanks ever so much.

No problems, good luck with your build, if you put up a build log then we can all advise on the best route for what you want to achieve!

Hey fella,
welcome to the forum, have you any designs or photos of what you've got so far?
