its a really good idea but just lost my job so very skint :(, its something i'll invest in later in the year when things are back on track..)

i may have made a break through though at the weekend after posting this thread: im trying to get my cnc finished(this job was for one of the last parts) and may well have found a way of supporting the router well enough to do this myself now, im going to give it a go..

thanks to http://www.protocnc.co.uk/gallery.aspx for the message, extremely handy to have found someone fairly locally

wish me luck
