On the No Sleep Studio web site, they have a video showing different weights being hung off the axis. I don't recall what the most weighed, but it seemed significantly more than a router. Just based on the weight of everything, I would think flexing of the z-axis would be the biggest issue.

I've seen aluminum mounting brackets on e-bay for routers. I figured I would just go that path and mount it directly to the aluminum frame of the z-axis. I would be buying a router motor for it too, but figured I'd wait until the Plasma was fully up and running.

One of the things I've seen that I think was really cool was a table that had plasma cut steel on the top and was covered in glass. With the router, it could be done as an inlay.
