Hi all,
New year's resolution – Get a build started! I joined the forum over four years ago and designed numerous machines In cad but never started a build so I hope to change that, the design is nothing new and just ideas copied (stolen) from other forum members great machines with my own twist thrown in. I would welcome any input as I'm sure I will need it.

Rough working area -
X- 650mm
Y- 900mm
Y- 170mm

The frame will be made of 90*5 square tubing and the gantry 45*90 aluminium extrusion arranged L shaped.

I am hoping to use it for wood/aluminium and tiling larger wood/ply/MDF jobs through the Y-axis hence no Y bracing (I will be fitting a bolt-on brace on the Y when not tiling.)
pictures to follow.
Any thoughts on the design are deeply appreciated
Cheers Mike.
