    and another, this is our first CNC router and it runs at 46" oer minute, we do use 6mm lead screws but its great, and 4" Zaxis as we use it to route fuselage halves for molding takes about 1.5 to 2 hours to route one half of a fuse.

    Nice!
    Is that a "hot wire cutter" device in the middle of your first pic? Or am I just imagining ....
    I'd like to see and read more of this aspect of your shop!
