You might see some chatter depending upon the hardness of the wood and end mill type (number of flutes) vs your feed and speed. You will get a feel for the feed and speeds with the type of work you will do. There is a feed and speed calculator to get you in the ballpark here: www.millrightcnc.info/

Any idea on the precision of my fine tuning of the alignments? Is .1mm about as good as it gets for the M3?

You can surface level the spoil board and that might get you close to 0.075mm. Derek might have some other suggestions for the M3. The other thing to tune is the steps movement accuracy. Derek posted a spreadsheet calculator in this post: millrightcnc.proboards.com/thread/35/fine-tuning-machine

My build is complete!
I made a thin sub-plate to cover the table and installed some side stops that can double as clamping blocks. This will get me started so I can get some projects going. One of my near future projects will be some quick change work holding to replace the bolt on stops.

I keep being impressed with this little machine! This video shows a 12.7mm straight router bit at 10,000rpm taking a 0.5mm width of cut, 16mm deep at 800 mm/min in 5/8" thick particle board. Can't wait to see what it can do in aluminum!
