All that aside 8 micron is bloody good for an home made jobbie. I know i know its only a quick sim and there are a lot of variables that that can influence the end results but it goes to show that it will be more than enough for cutting most things a hobbyist will want.

Yeah, the rails will be mounted on the moving plate on the z axis this time. I also found the other way to be less effective, although it did the trick as it should.

Well, it's been some time since I updated this thread. And A LOT has happened... :)
The machine is in fact ready to go. All I need is dust extraction. But that will get there when it gets there.
And I have done some cuts on it already, so here's a few photos for your enjoyment. :)

Excellent looking machine, I like the simple base design and how it can be adjusted at each corner but does it vibrate, resonate ?

There's very little vibration in it. Especially after I added the 41mm MDF top to it. 22+19mm MDF.
Plus I added extra stiffness on the crossmembers with 60x60x4mm steel tube.
I have done a cut test in Aluminum, with a rather agressive cutting parameter, and it came out lke this, with a single flute cutter. You need to look at the area within the red rectangle.
The cut was done rather agressively, and with a 3mm single flute cutter at high RPM. Will go for a slower RPM next time I try it. It looks bad looking at the picture, but the cut is actually very flat and smooth.

I once looked deeply into making loudspeaker cabinets (big ones) and it was deemed a good idea to use a glued sandwich of MDF and plywood to reduce cabinet resonance.
