Hi Lee,

The framing is FlexLink XD structural aluminium from RS components. It's a little pricey, certainly the t-slot nuts and angle brackets aren't cheap, but it's convenient for me as RS are just down the road. All held together by M5 hex bolts.

The Trend T3 router which I got from Rutlands.co.uk is a handy size and weight, pretty powerful and multispeed. My only complaint is being limited to 6mm, 6.35mm and 8mm collets, of which I've lost the 6mm collet and cannot find a cheap replacement. So that limits the selection of mills I can use quite drastically. I was going to add a rev-counter to it so I can accurately measure speed, but that's on hold at the moment.

I have an ER20 collet set and chuck which I intend to make a cnc mount for, and either use the router to power it via belt or get some other high power motor or servo linked up to it. So I'll be documenting that as I go along.
