Since it's slow, and the pics loook good, I thought I'd offer a suggestion.

Make a dust skirt to prevent chips from falling onto the rails. Just a long strip of plaqstic
and some double stick tape and put that the lenght under the table.

A larger one could be on the gantry if it prevented chips from falling onto the rails.

But the think looks really nice !
