L shape gantry

[jdlvfr]

Hello all,

I'm considering building a router to cut mostly aluminum, overall dimensions 800mm * 1000mm for 500mm * 750mm cutting area and 250mm Z travel.
So first question is about gantry, would a L shape gantry made with 45*180mm profiles be a bad idea?



Eventually with angle brackets to add rigidity:



The idea behind this is to have the rails parallels and to simplify the Z axis building while keeping a good distance between the rails.

Thanks
