Well that is the most ambitious first cut yet!
Do I see two machines being build?

Good observation but no
Ryan made some adjustments during beta test to accommodate a thicker strut. My first set did not work well as you can see in my build thread
Well I screw up more than once today, was able to cut 2 out of the 3 struts… Cut a piece of plywood 300x1450 and let’s get the machine dirty!!!
I didn’t check the router bit, as it was used to cut the YZ plates and I had no burns or any other issue, looks like it was the best Bit, so start the cut and this happens…

Then I Realize that I was also going a little too fast, well the same speed I cut the YZ plates 20mm/s.
Changed the end mill, drop the speed to 12mm/s and got 2 struts…

Still not as pretty as the one above but getting there…
The board is 5 mm thick. I cut an extra set in case I decide to double up for extra strength. However, I just tried doing a dry fit a few min back and I am not sure if there is enough clearance there. So, I guess I will just leave out the extra set.
