Yes Paul, thats what I was thinking. But level with the bottom of the tank. So the shelf covers the foam and a little bit of the sand.

Me Likes, Paul

What program you using to draw with? I have Autocad 2008, but I'm not that good with the 3D aspect.

I use Iron Cad, it's a solid modeling package that I have used for years, it allows me to go from a solid to CNC easily, very user friendly.

do you use 3D for your CNC? Thats the reason I got Autocad myself. Was for my Mill. But I just use it for X-Y drawings and have a CAM program that I enter the Z's into. It's only a 3 axis mill, and I havn't goten into full scale 3D with it.

We run a number of methods, Solidworks included, then into cad cam to verify, I have 16 CNC's and all are slightly different so they have to be dealt with differently in the way you post to them.
