Obviously you could have used a combination of a few methods, but what I'm curious about is just how technical everyone got about it!
I'm in the design phase of my first router build, and I have read numerous times that newbies rarely get it right on their first build (in terms of rigidity and vibration). Fair enough.
To avoid disappointment with my machine, I've found that I've resorted to more and more precise design methods on each design iteration.
So now I'm wondering, how technical did everyone get in coming to their final design in their last or current build?
