Comments sought on new build: A CNC Router for RC Gliders and Planes

I've got some hard stops at the bottom end and will be putting some rubber for the gantry to rest against as you suggested this when I first mentioned going vertical. I'll use it horizontally until I've built the frame but it'll have to be on the floor as the tables aren't strong enough to not be shaken to bits with it on running at full chat....

Today is re-designing the moutning frame/enclosure.....



Had a delivery today, scrapping my original home made spindle design for a "standard" 2.2kW one...



Slight bit of damage where it looks like it was dropped, nothing serious just cosmetic and nothing that can't be sorted with a file! Spindle spins freely and smoothly...





Currently looking at positions for the limit and home switches...
