This reminds me---what are the advantages of the slant bed? I can see how the classic horizontal toolpost might be less desirable for CNC because it gets covered in swarf, but why is the slanted toolpost plane better than say a vertical arrangement? Perhaps it helps to preload the linear bearings by sheer toolpost weight, leading to less chatter.
