Looks like its made out of aluminum tube. What type of linear slide did you used?

My Question
how long and how wide sould z axis be? (using Porter Cable router)

It is hard to see but the servo near the top of the mill is for my Z axis.

High Seas here - my z axis is posted in the members gallerys - if that helps- cheers.
BTW - it takes a bit of a "different" approach.
