X-Carve Upgrades

Our team has a stock X-carve (1000mm), and we are trying to upgrade it over the summer so we can use it to accurately mill sheet metal and tubing. What mods do you guys suggest?

This is what we've come up with so far:

- Strengthen x/y axes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JQJKxtc8bf4
- Install new limit switches
- Build and Attach new Wasteboard
- Install ChilliPeppr Firmware
- Securely attach Xcarve to table
- Clean belts and add in dust shields
- Make a vacuum dust shoe attachment
