It is an unusual machine with twin ballscrews on X, Y, and Z axis, a fully supported Z axis running on 4 rails and afull perimeter gantry. This is to try and approach a mill style machine for stiffness (to machine aluminium), but still have the large footprint to cut wooden sheets.
Latest video is Episode 8 (earlier videos in the series are also on YouTube):
Interesting, thanks for sharing.
