Hi Clive I meant moving gantry but yes I had forgotten about Chaz's machine which will cut steel.

Have a look in the build log at Chaz's machine to see how he approached it. I'm sure this is not what you had in mind but what you can take from this is just how stiff and heavy the machine needs to be for steel

Thanks for all replies, here is my answers for your questions.
@Nr1madman
1. The steel would be EN 8 to EN 31 plates.
2. Ill got with 100 mm Square poles with 5 or 6 mm thickness
3. Ill go with 20 or 30mm square rails as per your suggestion but will post design soon.
4. I made the design in simple base not fully, but thinking to go with Fixed Gantry.
@routercnc
I think you are saying mill style machine that I believe fixed gantry. CAn I got with Wade O Design?
Someone suggested for moving gantry in CNC zone forums few years back, but they never replied again and never made anything.
Yeah got it what you said yes I am too loking more stiffer than the one I linked, but the design is so easy to process.
I also checked Chaz design but looks it is a fixed gantry. http://www.mycncuk.com/threads/9616-...d-that-be-Zeus
Is this is the machine that you are talking about it?
Let me know whether I should go with Wade O design as it is easier to make and i will modify according to our need.

The guy told moving gantry because for the wieghtage of milling plate. I am looking the easiest method to build it.
