Looks much more stable than the last, far less prone to torquing around 
the axes. If the green cylinder is the actual size of the motor you're 
going to use, it looks fine, but it seems to have a rather small 
diameter compared to what I've used (plunge routers at least).

Be careful about dust and wood chips getting in the lead screws, that's 
a quick way to damage components and lose calibration.

There's a tool available in the 'States (probably worldwide, I'm guessing)
called "Roto Zip" that might be ideal.  It's basically just a big, beefy Dremel
tool, but with 'side-cutting' bits that can cut practically any material.
When/if I ever get around to building such a CNC router myself, this is
probably what I'll use.

(A rather badly-designed website, IMO)
