If you have experience with welding why don't you make the machine from 100x100x3 profile steel and use aluminum for the gantry and Z only?? And maybe for the YA if you prefer and all esle from steel


I don't like the type of connection you are showing. For me best is or plate or angle. And now angles are so cheap, i would use only angles and a couple of plates.
My machine that I currently have is 1000mm long as well. That one is buily from steel, welded 50x50x3. I will probably not be able to mill the surfaces of my new machine with my existing one, since it is not rigid enough for effective steel milling.

As for the connections, those are really strong and requires absolutely 0 machining, which is why I like them. What is it about them that you dont like? How accurate are angles and where can I get those cheap?
