That looks epic!

What are the shock mounting bushes made from? PU?

A quick update, we had a first cnc cut on the new machine. After that we took it apart to add some oil groves for good lubrication. And painted everything to a other color with 2k auto paint.

a nice touchscreen for controlling the machine!

New spindle motor and VFD arrived, now have to make some brackets to attach it to the milling head.
I also gone add a belt drive system instead of the plastic gears that are in right now.
Today made the mounting plate for the motor.
