    Hi,

    Im following a design from automatedwoodworks.com and have reservations about the brace used in the gantry. A few people have said the gantry may twist using this design and I would like to do something to eliminate this possibility as much as I can.

    The original design uses 1no. cross piece of 100x50x6 aluminium channel but I have updated the images here to show the use of 2n0. 100x50 aluminium hollow section.

    Original machine can be seen here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7XwM_azm1so

    Thanks guys.
