FMI: If I understand the forum concept, this is where I should start a new thread on the 'New Build' string thingy - is that right?
yep, just start a new thread in "router build logs" youll suss it all out as you go along

we want full documentation photos and video on the blood snot and heart ache of the whole event

its a lot of work and it can be a nightmare at times but watching your machine spring into life and carve a super accurate component for the first time is mind bogglingly satisfying :)
