I have gotten pretty far with my 8020 skate bearing design and it works quite well. The travel being X30/Y20/Z5 inches this is a little large for my desk, I want to use this larger one to make a dedicated PCB router, with travel being about X12/Y12/Z1 inches.
I'm going to use 1/2" aluminum for this smaller one and I'm just looking for ideas on styles and types.

Thanks for the help.

But if you want to step up your game, this one is still a favorite of mine, http://www.cnczone.com/forums/showpo...30&postcount=9

For some reason I like a moving table design for a smaller desktop version. That would probably be the direction I would head in.
