I wanted to upload a video to show machine in action, with Keling Controller and Mach 3, but size is restricted to only 500 KB. So I've attached some more photos of the machine in action.

I cut G10 and Carbon on a wet bed. So far having great sucess with Keling 3 axis Controller and Mach 3.

Also, my rather simple, but effective retrofi to the Maxpath 42 router, of using V groove bearings mounted to aluminum 1/8 thick brackets, on the y and Z rider blocks and moving them over 3/8" Diameter steel precision rods that have been installed on the y and Z back plates, is working very nicely and allowing faster and smoother travels than I ever got with the original Maxpath 42 router when the Y and Z rode on dove tails, these are still there but I am not using the adjustable gibbs, just letting the bearings do what they do best!. I am almost sold on V-groove bearing in liew of linear bearing on pillow block. This setup is also a lot cleaner and easier to maintain. If a bearing ever wears out, simply replace a new one. Otherwise, with the dovetails, as before, the aluminum linear plates would wear out and I almost had to remachine the whole dovetail plates, to get them back to normal. I also made some 3 point copuplers for the lead screws, using 6/32 machine screws which I had to machine down to get them to fit on the couplers without them hitting the bacl plates.

I am so happy this is all working again, and I can still get some more life out of this MAXPATH42 router.

Many thanks again to Mach 3 and Keling for helping me make this project of mine a sucess! Thanks also to CNCZone for providing this medium of communication and wealth of information.
