I was suggesting it as a spoilboard that was not affected by humidity.

Effectively 2 belts facing each other with symmetrical mirrored tooth
profiles? Likely as good a rack as you could buy, at

That's the super-clever bit. The teeth-up belt is bonded to the track,
so the effective belt length and stretch is tiny.
Hi Gene,
I believe the lower belt is glued to the track so it cannot move,
effectively making it a rack.

Keep in mind you don't have to get the table absolutely perfect. Fit a
wood/MDF backing board on the table then skim it flat usign your router
head. Even if the machine is slightly twisted this will compensate for
the twist.
It pays to use the biggest cutter your spindle will handle and run at

The Bell-Everman ServoBelt is really very clever. If I was building a
router/plasma I would certainly steal the idea.

The parts sold as the kit are just the motion control portion. The
support structure is part of the flexibility that is up to the end
user. A sturdy base that doesn't grow and shrink with humidity is
needed, but you don't need to weld and you don't need a 6' X 10' granite
surface plate. Most

Don't assume those offering full setups won't sell you just the
mechanical part.Most of the world is much more open to any sort of
negotiation this culture. Specs, completeness, etc are often all
negotiable.

If you're looking for a good compromise between building and buying a
commercially available turn-key CNC router, you might be interested in
a guy on eBay who sells kits. I bought his commercial (linear rail) 24"
X 49" kit almost two years ago. I use LinuxCNC, of course. I bought it

I have been casting around for a new pre built router in the $5 to $10K
