Hello guys,

I have a few quesitons:

I am trying to find some Ecocast equivalent flat aluminium that I will be using for my CNC-router build. I need flat plates for the Z-axis plates, HIWIN bearing mounting plates and gantry side plates. I live in Finland and apparently https://www.aluminiumwarehouse.co.uk...e-cut-to-order does not ship to Finland.

  1. Does this Ebay supplier https://www.ebay.com/itm/Plangefr%C3...r=584699104603 seem to be similar/equally good? Perhaps someone here knows an even better supplier that is close or ships to Finland? The problem with this Ebay supplier is that 200mm width seems to be the widest plates available. I can make that work though with slight changes in my design.
  2. For the X-axis (some here may call it Y-axis) which the Z-axis will be mounted to, I will be using a 90x180 heavy duty profile. Depending on how flat it is when I receive it, do you think it is any idea to mount a flat aluminium plate onto the profile? I would then mount the linear rails to that plate, which in turn also should increase stiffness a little bit.


Awesome forum by the way. I have already had a lot of my questions answered just by reading build logs!
