I would like a solid bed plate that is also an index plate, with a grid of dowel and threaded holes.

And if we're going "ne plus ultra" how about an enclosure with dust collector and Bose noise cancelling technology

Also, if we're cutting wood and aluminum, maybe 2 spindles - 24k for wood, and slower higher torque for metal. And an additional small 60K for engraving and minute inlay work, with runout of less than a tenth for those tiny cutters
