Hi Markus,
don't feel bad, imagine the laughs we get when we order a things a
box of pencils that are 200cm long !
as far as the X/Y table, it can be in your shop in the US for around
$100.00 and that eleminates the need for drawer glides and linear
rails and that stuff.
just having gotten maried in June, I am way too poor to start buying
tooling, but it will be a nice addition to my shop in the future.
as you can imagine, having a beefy X/Y table allows one to do some
milling as well !
