Re: fresh start 8x4 build
Ash Look closely at the gantry and you'll see common Gotcha.??? ( 2 exam points deducted If I got to tell ya . .Lol)
Also I'd add lower rail between the diagoinal braces it will stiffen the frame for when being moved etc.
Re: fresh start 8x4 build
are you talking about bearings not flush with the rails? and thanks Dean ill add those supports on frame.

No keep looking. Getting warm thou
Re: fresh start 8x4 build
I would put the Z axis within the footprint of the gantry, by swapping the end cheeks over. I just puts the forces on the X axis slides acting downwards with gravity and cutting not putting twisting forces on the gantry. Also you could reduce the floorspace of the machine, without reducing the cutting area.

Re: fresh start 8x4 build
is it the fixed bearing blocks on z axis? if it is im sure someone said to have the blocks fixed and the rails moving. im still looking though lol
Re: fresh start 8x4 build

Stab in the dark how are you going to access the bearing blocks bolts under the gantry
