That angle aluminum you used to sand your bearing surface....just epoxy it on to the top of the wood and voila - you now have a much smoother aluminum bearing surface. Many folks have made DIY CNC machines using similar techniques.

Well, crap. I should have thought of that.
So I'll pretend that I did, and go out and do it! :-)
Thanks Andy.
