Hi All,
This is driving me crazy now. I have 5m of 3/4" aluminum angle already but I keep swaying towards using pipes as rails. I have all the bearings too.
My ideas are below. Do I mount the angle on the side of the torsion box as indicated or use pipe? Do I mount the pipe on the top use angle?
This machine will have a total size of 27" x 20" (700mm x 500mm) and is made from 3/4" MDF. Height of the torsion box (including top and bottom skins) is about 5 1/2" (136mm)
It will be used for engraving and cutting acrylic and mdf up to a maximum depth of 10mm.
P.s. I can't afford proper rails or 8020 at the moment. My budget is really small so I can't be throwing money around.
Please somebody save me from insanity.
Neal
