I'd consider buying this and importing it I think it'd cost ~€1200 to Germany but it might be too big for you. I know someone who would moves this no probs if you'd be interested have to get a quote.

Needs work but seems a cheap way to get a decent 8*4 router

No its to big ,

i have max 3000x1800 mm if i go 2000 mm then the car can't go in the garage.

should i make a metal frame for the cnc or can i make a wooden frame and bolt everything ?

Metal frame, really wants to be steel at that size but if you do use T slot aluminium you need chunky profile and I would have it predrilled so it bolts together rather than T nuts. I'm certain you can make it fold to the wall for extra space (Although not the machine I linked to lol) It will cost a lot more to make it from aluminium rather than steel, I lack the confidence to weld a steel frame for a cnc so i would use a coach builders to make my frame.

Or maybe it's time for your mum to take up motorcycle riding ;)

If I wasn't so skint right now I would be buying this today ;)

At prices like that it's not worth building an 8*4 I'd just buy one I have no doubt £1k and you can get that working and £2k and you can get working like new.

I don't think its 8x4 its 3mtr x 2mtr bed so probably bigger still.
