Follow-up on the Redsail CNC router

Finally got around to modify the table to my taste. All the T-Slot extrusion have been reinforced with 1"X2" aluminium extrusions screwed to the underside. Then the 1/2" plastic strips screwed on top and milled flat with the router. Now the surface of the table is precise to 0.001" all over the 24" X 36", with no deflection when you press down on it. excellent.

First project done on it was a frame for a test jig. Everything came out within .002". I'll post pictures next week and maybe a video.
