I bought a used CamTech RM25 router locally and sold the original camtech control and converted it to Mach3.
I made the control box to go under the router and the router has hinges on one side to open up like a hood on car for service :

Side of the machine, it had a Perske 3HP spindle on it but I don't have a VFD for it yet so i'm using the router for now:

The white stuff is foam that I was machining earlier:

Over all the router looks nice but the way its build is very cheap and very light duty. I feel sorry for the guy that paid C$25,000 for it(chair). As you can see in the last pic they have a bearing riding on aluminum and wore out a grove already and I don't think it has much hours on it. On top they have two regular bearing in a V arrangement riding on the two side support rods, the rods are not held to the machine in any way they just fit kind of tight in the aluminum extrusion. On the X axis they have some decent fully supported rods. The Z axis is a joke, since they didn't have limit switches on the machine only the top of Z had a switch. They have the screw coupled to the motor with a chain The Z screw was not rigid mounted to the Z carriage they had this:

So I got rid of their under engineered setup and rigid mounter the screw. And put limit switched on all axis. It has ball screws on the x and y and 24 x 25 travel and 2" Z.
This is what is was making out of the foam, at the bottom:
