    Looks impressive. Didnt think you would be able to find anyone here in NZ to stress relieve at a reasonable price.What will the stress relieving involve? What size rails do you plan on using?

    Haha I pass heat treatments on the way to work. They quoted $70 of our toy money but the base weights 45kg hence the cost. As far as I know they just whack it in a furnace over night then bring it down to room temp.
    Ive got 15mm hiwin rails all round which including the ball screws cost a grand. Thankfully customs didnt tax me on them lol
