10 holes/hour

Or thereabouts. Seems a little unreasonable when put in those terms, but that also included machining edges, aligning everything (multiple times), and more. On the up side, the base is more or less done! Mostly what's left is to machine the channel in the middle so the ballnut has some clearance. That didn't get done today because the chunk of metal is warped, and I'd rather like that area to be planar with the rest of it. Anyway, the idea is that the linear rails and the supports on the bottom should hold it pretty flat.

(Also pictured are the new ginormous linear rails. They could probably use a little grease, but otherwise seem fantastic)
