So I've decided to build my next cnc router, my first is a kit I had ordered and put together. I am building the base from welded steel tubing with some cold rolled flats for rail beds. And a mix of steel and aluminum for the gantry. I'm trying to get some tools together like dial indicator, straight edge (eeek I dont like the prices), twisted wire for straight edge..... can anyone that has been down this road recommend any usefull tools or inspection equipment that would be usefull in the process? Any recommendations will be appreciated. Thanks all
