What do you think?
It should work. If I understand correctly, it will just slightly increase the complexity of kinematics, because You will need to adjust both portals. Do I understand correctly that actual layout of the joints in Your machine is that rotary table rotates around vertical axis, but portals are alligned so that XY and UV planes are vertical and Z is horizontal? I opened the link You posted in first message, but I saw some gantry routers there.
