Thank you all
Clive, I meant to say helpful comments in regards to the dimensions. I will draw the base and I will add according to your suggestion and see how it goes.
Jazz, Vagelis is really nice, if he makes Great wine he is even nicer!!!
With wood and soft materials in mind I will try to design the base and post the drawings hopefully in a few days time. No previous experience with CAD(I can draw simple things) but I will try my best.
Plan is to start welding in January.

VAGELIS IS BACK!!!!
Dean and Argiris thank you for your good words.
Argiris is the one who make me restart my project sooner as I expected
I explained him about the community of mycncuk.com and how the people here help help help, and the most important selflessly
Personally i feel thankfull ...
Dean the ladies often tell these words to the "small tool" owners in order to console them.
And a little story about "tools" that shows the superiority of the Greeks (here we laugh!!!) who think that we are the center of the world.... (here we laugh again)
An African and a Greek stand on a bridge and pee. Underneath runs a river. They stand on the bridje back to back ( the one cant see but only listen the other).
The African in order to vex the Greek says
"I feel the river is Cold today"
and Greek replies
"And deep"
Argiris good luck give us some plans.The creative adult, is the child who survived

Kingcreaky thank you for the files.
Looks really nice. Is it 3100mm in the long axis? Are you bolting the plates to the vertical frame first and then weld the cross members in place or have them made before with the 2 plates attached and then bolt them to the vertical frames? Can I pre-drill plates and side members using a jig in a bench drill then tap then start building the frames or I will be way too off?
Being new to CAD I spend the last 3 days trying o design a preliminary plan of the base. My main concern was to be able to design it parametrically so I can change most of it on the fly without having to redesign it again. So far it works well even though the design structure is like spaghetti code.
The base steel tubing is 60x 60 x 5 and the lower grid is 60 x 40 x 3.
The top right and left tubing would be bolted to the base for adjustment purposes if that is an extra benefit.Then epoxy leveling .
Any suggestions where to source the Hiwin rails? CAD files for them?
Thank you allLast edited by arg123; 21-12-2015 at 10:51 AM.
