Dean,
I was, as usual, being slightly facetious, your standards and mine are very different for good reasons. But the key point I had in mind is...

I can't see this for certain but it looks like the fixed rails, leadscrews and motors on each side are all fixed to a single beam which allows adjustment of the rail spacing without upsetting the relative alignment of those elements. It also makes the machine simpler to disasemble for transport and instalation without upsetting the alignment, a factor which would be important if the workshop is in an attic as this one looks like it might be from the photographs, though I wouldn't want to carry 400Kg up the stairs, even in several pieces and I certainly wouldn't want to sleep in the bedroom directly underneath it!

I built my new steel framed machine in this way after having endless problems getting everything lined up all at once on the last of my wood and MDF versions.

Pilsbury,
Brilliant video! I also like the credits, though you might be in trouble for leaving out "Post Production Catering - Wife" if you have one and she brought you a cup of tea during the editting.
