Wow, Mike. I realize this is a bit late but I really like where you’re going with this . Have you got it up and running yet? I’m oddly envious, I’d almost like to have to use this idea but my machine needs to be in an enclosure and fill up a double doorway. First world problems.
Unfortunately not yet - I’ve got a 3-dresser project that I have to finish before I have the space in my (garage) shop to mount this puppy.

@Spes Going through old posts and came across this. That’s actually a pretty good idea. I would want to work out some kind of brake or lock to hold the extrusions in place but barring that I can’t see any reason it wouldn’t work just fine.
Good afternoon, I like your design.
Now that you have your CNC, with the gantry moved all the way forward, using a 80mm spindle, can you tell me where the bit is in relationship to the front of the side rail front support?
Would appreciate if you could provide this info.
Thanks!!!
