I took the plunge and ordered a 2x4 AVID Pro machine but intend to build a table for the time being.
A couple of questions for all the experienced folks:
1) I thought vertical routing might be good for joinery work and the ability to rout edges--but is it really?
2) On the AVID machine, would it be a bad idea to slide the front cross-member back about 1.5 inches from the edge when building the table frame? It doesn't look like that would interfere with anything on the side rails.
Since the work area already extends about 1 inch beyond the front edge, moving the cross-member back would allow mounting a vertical spoil board with 1-2 inches of y-motion for routing. I don't think it would diminish capability of horizontal routing either (?)
