I have gotten a bit further with the zenbot CNC setup - fixed my dust boot now that I have a drill press vise. The Vacuum is working good.
Got the surface planed. Should have waited for the t-rails I am pretty sure.
Which leads me to t-rails - I have my 4x8 rectangle and now need to add the cutouts for the t-rails. I would like to set a rectangle 3/4wx3/8 deep and offset every foot for now.
Any videos to do that or can someone briefly describe what needs done. I would greatly appreciate it!

Re: copy and replicate process on offset?
Use the Array Copy Vectors tool to create multiple copies of the rectangle at the correct distance and create a pocket toolpath from those.
Or create one toolpath and use the Array Copy Toopath to create the others.
Plus at least a dozen more ways. There are always multiple ways to do every job. It's just whichever you find simplest.

Thank you Adrian, I need to learn more about this software. I got it to do what I needed. Will look into the array feature for sure!
