@rickmellor: That is cool, and I like the Proxxon. How's the ORD Bot frame holding up?
@Woodie49: If you want a router made out of MakerSlide, definitely go with the Shapeoko (or, to toot my own horn, the
eShapeOko). The laser isn't nearly rigid enough, and while the ORD Bot is better, it's still not made for strong lateral forces.
