I'm down in Co Meath for my sins.... Yes the Lock Down is a bummer but I believe we will be let out gradually from the 18th... Plenty of time to do design work! I forgot to ask what the cutting area of your setup is? It's a decent build for sure. I would 100% recommend flood coolant doing any serious metal machining or mist for lighter work otherwise you will get a pain in your ass replacing cutters! I settled on rack and Pinion after trying belt and lead screw. Both turned out to be disasters.No way I could afford 2.8 Meter Ball screws!! My Rig has been sitting idle for 2 years and only recently am I getting the Itch to start playing again.. The only bonus of the lock down!. Feel free to give me a shout it your stuck with anything. I have made shit load of mistakes building my setup but you live and learn and it may help you from falling into some of those pit falls!!!
