As stated in the beginning, it is a concept! This is also intended to be used as a wood router, as I'm not trying to reinvent the Bridgeport mill!
My experience with weldment's is they do warp and twist, so extra material will be added for a final machining of critical surfaces. Like under the T-Slot plate, and under all the THK rails & trucks, including the mounting area of the ball nut & end bearings.
I have been making so much aluminum, and all the routers I've made look identical! So something different is needed to keep my mind busy Like something stronger than a 1/8" Dremel or Proxxon spindle!
