Hello! Your design is very similar to the one I am building. Real nice work!

Have a doubt about the y axis being 45x90 profiles, even if used in L formation I think it might be to flimsy for fast alu cutting? Please correct me if wrong :)

Ok Your Wrong.!! . . . . Why would you say such thing without any experience of using this arrangement.?

I can tell you with absolute confidence, mostly because I came up with the design, and have tried and tested on dozens of machines that it easily handles aluminium in this arrangement.

Before i was thinking exactly the same as Nrmadman, but remember once after your statement in another thread , i sat down and did the numbers looking at profile manufacturers data, and it seems you are right about the strength being enough and comparable with steel gantry.

But that's the difference Boyan.? I Won't and Don't give advise on anything unless I have actual experience and know it works.
People need to realise that at DIY level the calculations mostly don't apply. Yes can't get away from pyhsics etc but most calculations are based on ridgid values and strict rules. They don't account for the DIY affects of muppets like US in working in sheds.

My thoughts on Calculations are don't waste the time,!! Instead invest the time looking for Real world examples and ask the person who made it what would do better.
The best Machines I've seen built have been built using just 3 Goods.?? . . . . . . . Good research, Good attention to detail and Good Old Common Sense.
