What would happen if you took, say one of the medium size Solsylva-machines. And constructed the whole thing out of steel instead of wood? Using the same templates and dimensions etc.
If I find a local metalworkshop with a lasercutter, I guess they could fabricate the parts for me without problems.
Would you get a more solid machine, one that you could use for milling harder materials than a wood-built one? Or would you just end up with a heavier version of the same "weak" machine?
