Ok here is the list of things I will be purchasing as soon as I hear some feedback on whether I will need anything else.

Also this will be in an unheated workshop. Can I put some antifreeze in the water for the spindle to keep it from freezing?

Thank you for all your help.

Yes, you want at least 15% for corrosion protection as well. If you run into construction questions post. The instructions assume you have watched the videos which I never watched.

OK, The trigger has been pulled. The order is complete. Hopefully it will be up and running by Christmas.

The R7 has been shipped. It will be here on Tuesday. That means the table will have to be built this weekend. I think I am going to build the table out of 3x4s. Once I mount the cnc to the table I think I will cut out the work area. As far as I understand when you mount the cnc to the table it has a -30 z. So I will cut that out and then cut a waste board to fit. this way if I need to carve something taller than the +90 I can just take the waste board out. Does that make sense to anyone?
