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.

:D
I did retract my statement, a bit at least!

Thanks everyone for feedback and sugestions.

Latest design, incorperating longer bed so 1200 x 600 cutting area on bed, RM2020 x 1400mm with BK15 fixed bearings each end on X axis with belt pulley arrangement for one motor operation. More bracing added. Stil not decided on fix or movable bed yet.

Lots more to do to design, covers, cables, screws etc. But I have produced a bill of materials which I have started filling in.

I've done a sort of trafic light system so you can see were I'm short of advice and knowledge. I will search the forum for answers, but probably end up posting more questions here.

Re your rails and screws might be a good idea to get a quote from https://aliexpress.com/store/314742 but go through him here :- Fred Lee bstlinear at gmail.com

Also re the screws when ordering quote the F length to be 30mm as the standard it is 25mm That is the bit where the pulley goes on.
