I would also like to set it up for both router and laser. I also want to design it so it can be set in a unit so it either pulls out or on a hinge system that allows it go beneath one of my work tables or make a hinged top to allow access when i need it.
Do you not think that the above is over ambitious. I think you are under estimating the weight and size. Lasers have to be able to run very fast that's why a lot of them are belt drive rather that ball screws.

Have a good read through some of the build logs http://www.mycncuk.com/forums/282-Ga...hines-Building.
