Well, trivial may not be the word I'd use... ;-) I'd have to remove the spindles, and the mounting plates in order to cob together a die grinder or router mount. In order to remove the spindle mounting plates, I'd have to pretty much disassemble the gantry, which is a real pain in the arse. As I mentioned before, the design phase somewhat overlooked the fact that I'd need a simple and easy way to flatten the hold down bed. There's a bunch of T nuts used to hold the gantry together, as well as holding the spindle face plates to the frame. My mistake designing it that way, but that's the way it is.
