Joe's 1000x600x200 steel and aluminium router started

Milled the Y bearing plates, just need to counter bore them. Lower plate wraps around the rails on the Z front plate to reduce coolant splash up inside the Z assembly, it is also recessed to accept the rear Z plate press fit so that it is easy to line it up with the upper Y plate. The row of 4 holes that will be used to bolt the lower Y to the rear Z plate are undersized as I want to use them as a drill guide for the tapped holes in the rear Z. The Z is too tall to stand on my mill so these will have to be drilled on the pillar drill or with the cordless.

Also the spindle mount arrived from Canada, very nice bit of kit.
