Honestly mate, with that attitude, we never would have walked out of the cave. Jazz i do respect your advice and have read through loads of your posts and advice to other people and assimilated lots into my own design, but, you can not consider people fools becuase you consider them wrong, I think you have just misread what i have been trying to explain to the bloke. They do say " fools rush in "

The "Fools" quote was a Joke which i made clear. I DON'T Consider you a FOOL but I DO 100% Know your WRONG and I'm the one often holding the hand out to help those that have took Duffy info all be it given in good faith and with no harm ment, But still wrong and often costly and some times dangerous.
Information and help like what's below is great Advise and perfectly fine but you can't be specific and advise motors,rails etc with no information to go on like in this case.

Dangerous Dave - am trying to suggest this to you

1. You can not go cheap on the motors and electrics, Decide on a frame size, gantry style, then let that choose for you
2. Machines above 4f are a lot harder, whereas, the machine i pointed to, and suggested, Is probley a good all round starting point. there art a few things you could make cheeper, like the bed, single baerings. You could even try find the bed at the scrappy, and mount and true the top like He shows in his thread.

Again, you dont seem to have read the post, i said that because you was assuming on the previous post that i had ment the smaller screws and motors for a full size machine, and i was trying to emphasise that his main consideration is costs, Also, if a persons not able to engineer the machine fully, then upping the rail sizes and screw, is one way to get over that.

This is exactly my point.!! . . . . No I didn't pick this up and neither will many others because you wasn't clear enough and neither did I see any mention of a 4x4 machine before you quoted specifics.!!. . . . . . All this Un-specific Info is confusing and misleading to new users.
Even now your comments about compensating with larger rails and screws for lack of Engineering is just WRONG ADVISE and all this would lead to is a very Expensive under performing machine or worse failure.!!

I'm not saying this because it's an Opinion of mine, I say it from lots of experience dealing with folks who have mis-understood or not read enough etc. Which you could say "More fool them" but my point and why I jump on this sort of thing is because it does happen and it doesn't need to happen so if folks just held off or asked for more info before posting then others wouldn't fall foul so easily.

Again DON'T think you a fool and I appologise for it coming over that way.!!. . . .
