Good to know!

I cannot even imagine how it would be without the FMJ mod.

@NikosSprocket I can't image using the mill with printed parts holding the Z column together.

Unless you only cutting balsa wood

Plumbed in the MQL today. Because of the lack of space, I mounted the reservoir on top of the Casa. The final step is to wire the solenoids to the air and mist relay.

Drilled some counterbore holes with the drill press in the fixture plate. Fastened with M5 x 10. Next is the shim for flatness, and check the tram again. All shimming done, they're was a big bow in the middle of the plate  . Tram next!

The reason for additional securement points is that the end mills apply an upward force when cutting.
