Small rigid router - Design advise needed

[Boyan Silyavski]

How are you mounting the spindle inside the z box? Are you making a custom mount or will you just be modifying those standard cast spindle mounts?

The simplicity of the two solid bars on the top and bottom is a great plan.

if speaking about the gantry, today while soldering changed the idea. As it was impossible to weld it well from all sides. So did not use the square tubing for support. Just made more ribs. Anyway i have bought 6m for the 2 plates, so i had enough of it. Instead used the square tube pieces/60x60/ to align the ribs. Its ridiculously strong. the gantry i mean. but the welding goes ridiculously slow. Great care should be taken. First spot weld, then short passes, then wait, then short passes... Still have to finish it tomorrow.
