New build a stronger machine for my workspace.

By the way have you seen that? Unfinished Project - Fixed Gantry M/C - 500x400x100mm Approx - Cost over £3K in parts

I live in Spain and there are constantly transports going from here and back to UK. Must be same with Portugal. Cause more or less that's the machine for doing aluminum. I would change the Z rails to square supported, but that's not expensive as they are very short. And having in mind that the machine is working already, you could do that as first job.

Yes, that is definitely a nice machine, even if it is difficult to transport. Anyway, I think he needs something very similar to that, but it does not have the work area he had in mind. It is very similar to what I have designed and built for myself, and the fixed gantry really increases the rigidity as well as it decreases the complexity and to square it is also much easier than a moving gantry type with slaved motors on one axis.
