    I'm rebuilding the gantry on a 6040 cnc.

    The x axis will have 2x 700mm hiwins (20mm) and ballscrew.

    I was going to buy 20-25mm Tooling plate to build the gantry top section and probably sides too.

    Any problems with using 5083 Tooling plate? I was originally going to use 6082 flatbar, milled.

    My main concerns are flexing and avoiding weak tapped threads.

    Thanks in advance for your time.
