My advise for what its worth is get the spindle as soon as you can, you will not regret it.

Good choice. I cannot recommend the buildbotics controller at all. The raspberry pi is so slow that missed steps happen to me occasionally, ruining my work.
I hope the Masso is better in that regard. For me the Elite would be the only way to go.
I am also starting to question my choice to use the QCW.
I think I would choose something more sturdy. It is flexing when I lean on the table ever so slightly.
I also noticed my QCW is a parallelogram, not a perfect square, and there is not enough wiggle room to adjust the feet accordingly.
Thank you. I am building my own bench. Trying to figure out my schematics and which hold downs strategies I am going to use the most and what is the best way to fit it into my shop the most seamlessly as possible.
I am looking forward to getting here and see what all these t can do. I am already starting to rough draft different projects. Lol
