i think youre on the rigth track..

all my suggestion, even at this moment you dont use the 4x4 feet area, get 4x4 size machine at least.. because you need to put full sheets on machine..
also 12 inch on gantry when you work, sometime hardly enough for clearance..
i started with 24x36 and about 2 week i knew that was too small..

biesse is for production work.. it was only example.. that routers can be quit different you know..

the european standard for door and window about 3 inches thickness of wood.. that machine cuts trough in one pass :-) like i cut 1/8 material :-)
