Hello all, I'm looking to make a Router\Mil CNC capable of working with Acrylic, Aluminium and maybe wood with a work area of 500x500x100mm. Here is my Project Doc, where I keep all my Ideas, Links and sources of knowledge.
I have some mock ups of my design in Autodesk Inventor but I keep changing my mind so they probably are not so helpful.


Will T-Slot Aluminium suffice for this kind of load?

What sort of spindle motor specifications should I be aiming for to cut the materials I want?

Are the HIWIN rails overkill? Will Elcheapo Chinese supported rod rails and sliders be sufficient?

Is there anything I'm overlooking thus far?
