1200mmX900mmX170mm 4axis cnc

I have a lot to learn....

Is there a reason not to go with that design on the bench?I mean the lower section for the 4 th axis? The bench will have a movable section at the one end that will cover the 4th axis and when is needed I will remove that part so I can machine big parts that are going to be heleded at the A axis.

Bump.....!!!!!

If I drop some Nema 23 ,3 or 4Nm.

What a headache.

hi. I think your design will be much stronger than the one you have linked to.. There should be no problem with the removable section for your 4th axis as long as it lines up with the rest of the bed

Looking at that link, my first reaction is that the gantry sides are way too flimsy. They need some triangular bracing at least.

Ok guys, thanks for the reply, I wasn't sure anyone is watching this thread.
I will move forward with my build and abandon the idea to buy the chasis.
