    Sorry Clive, my question was about the polished Aluminium side plates on the Gantry being rebated into their bottom plates, is it bolted and welded or just bolted?

    The two cross beams are 60x60x5 with 12mm plate welded on the ends then they were machined both front faces & top and bottom also the ends were machined parallel with each other at a local engineers.

    The front plate is ecocast 20mm screwed to the two beams.

    The gantry sides are 20mm rebated into the bottom plate. There are 4x M12 bolts to fix each box section to the side
