I would still need something for my cheap v-rollers to run on. Its
not that I don't have the cash it is just that I don't want to spend
it on this project, this will be a fun and super fast machine to show
what's possible. It will mill foam and wax but not much else.

I have some ideas for a ceiling mounted huge one as well but I have no
where to build it so its a mute point really but it involves bicycle
hubs, lots of skate bearings and some carbon fibre tube :O
