I guess for some time I will be quite happy producing 1 or 2 a week, i might band saw the bulk off first, if that helps
I have been told the Ox can take a 1kw spindle motor, which i thought mean the structure would be strong enough.
The rollers are made of Delrin, and they run in 2 Vslots one each side of the extruded alu , I have used Delrin and alu in the past on machines and never noticed any wear, so i thought this may be similar (but this is more critical), i guess if it has problems i will mod to run on shafts and linear bearings.
The Ox plus model is new, but based on the smaller model, I have been told they are doing a larger on 1200 x1200
I will mainly be using 45mm mahogany (soft) and 15mm thick maple top (hardish), i really want the cnc for some consistency cutting the holes, pickup slots, possibly the fretboard radius, inlays and the bindings, the final finish will be done by hand

Well must say I think you will be dissapointed and having built a machine just for making guitars and musical instruments that is considerably more substantial then honestly think you haven't got a prayer of cutting Frets or Inlays, bindings with any accuracy and certainly not after a fews weeks or months of cutting when it's become worn.
