Greetings and CNC build soon to start, advice needed.

Maybe I have to change the title to "Greetings and cnc build Not soon to start!"

After Dean's suggestion and some study , I am going for 80x80x3 steel tubes, EGR20 linear rails and 2020 ball screws, for the 1500mm long axis and 1210 for the rest.
I am going for a stiff design so I can work on wood, main purpose and to be able to do some aluminum cncing also.
Am I on the right track now?

Excellent. Now a test to see if it is working...

You probably want to machine construction foam up to 300mm thick, 20mm aluminium sheet, maybe with alternate heads for 3D printing, plasma and laser cutting. I mean, you want to keep your options open, right?
