After playing around with my current router for over a year I think I've gathered enough excuses to start building a new (3rd) one. This one should have:
-larger travel: 24" by 48" to fully access standard plywood panels.
-vacuum hold down for those bendy balsa sheets that follow your bit wherever it goes.
-rack & pinion on X and Y
-supported rails on X to finally be done with the sagging.
-a nicer color(hey, I do need excuses)
Although it will probably not be the fastest build, I thought it would be nice to start a build log. All comments en suggestions welcome!
Here's a pic of the frame being assembled and result:
