It just fits and I mean just lol I had to tap it in the corners which is the fit I wanted was stressed about this cut as I had to outsource the cut and I knew it would be a bastard luckily I got a friendly a wood guy to help me out.

As soon as you say i want 135.1cm *100cm people look at you funny lol.

I'm going to make a frame from 2*1 on ply wood so the router sits on the frame, then drill a hole in the ply for the vac bed. I can very easily drop the router onto anti vibration mounts or sit it on 20cm thick rubber bump stops.

Is there any point?

My wiring is dodgy on the spindle, luckily I didn't damage it!

I need to resolder properly but I decided today I was in disaster mode and anything I do will break things even more lol. Asked my electrician mate to come help me sort it.

Tripping out RCD so it's earth related.

But we did do a test cut ;)

Congrats, the first movement is always the sweetest.

The first movements I had a dead spot on my router where the ballscrew was catching but quickly traced to my motor mounts. Under one of the mounts on one side was a washer but not the other. Removed the washer and all was good ;) Struggling to fit my limit switches lol, broke 3 cobalt drill bits so far bloody M3's far too flimsy.
