I would get another quote on the welding reefy, but it could be that half the price is for lifting and transporting

would it be justifiable to use heavy extrusions for a more rigid strong frame? the price difference is huge but dont mind paying for it if its a plus side for the machine.
90x90 10mm slot light version
£122.85 18.9kg
90x90 10mm slot heavy version
£198.75 31.5kg
both 3000mm long

In one of your other posts did not you say you would be happy with a 4' x 4' machine!! or are you set on a 8 x 4?
bigger machines are generally much more difficult to build and thus more expensive.
Have a read through some of the very good build logs on here as that might help...Clive

doesn't seam a bad price to me when you consider the time and material costs. There has to be 500+ in materials and if you want it perfect then your going to need to pay for skilled labour. using 90x90 ali its going to be at least that maybe more!
