    I don't think the weight will be an issue but are you also taking account of the spindle weight ?
    Try a different L arrangement, http://www.mycncuk.com/threads/6565-...5076#post55076
    Also try the Y rails on the top and bottom faces rather than the front face. This makes the rails further apart which is good and also allows the Z axis to be closer to the gantry.
