Second CNC table build, here we go again....

View from front looking at current gantry design.



This is for the open-bed style table with the longer gantry arms. The linear guides can be easily covered from the top.

The gantry beam will pass through the side support plates and be welded up and gusseted inside with some nicely cut parts, the outer face of the vertical supports can be strengthened with a couple of ribs to resist side-sway.

Mounting the support rails is harder on the open bed style though, I was going to bolt them on but this style really wants a box frame at bed level.
