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 !

Dave
