Router bed - What's best???

[michael]

Here's a picture to give an idea of what I mean, It uses the rails to add rigidity to the plate with the ballnut fixed to the stationary plate.

Nice concept Kip, I have seen this setup before with unsupported round shafting (Marchant Dice Machines) And Thanks to Hilton Steve deciding to build a better machine than mine (bloody nice bloke by the way), I'm gonna beef my set up a little.

Steve's machine design is coming on a treat, refreshing to see some one do things this way, I mean he is designing and modeling the thing first! Wish I had done the same with my first build.

Also would like to say a huge thanks to John, S for inviting me over to see his kit and for making a component for a laser engraver i'm hoping to sell!!
