Thread: Bench-top or welded frame

Significantly - I want to do as much of the build myself, and (to an extent) I can work with steel. Having said that there's a recent threads that show some very enterprising use of hand tools (though throwing a woodworking hand held router through 20mm of alu would certainly be different to what I'd normally use it for). The design (once I understand it!) is something that I can build with the equipment that I have. To some extent there's a certain curiosity value as well.

For cost... steel is the cheaper way to build.. there is a catch though.. steel is not easy to get straight/flat enough to mount linear rail directly.
Did you decide on square or supported rail?
Do you have access to tools to get the steel flat level and straight ?
If not.. epoxy is a solution... but not very easy to do.. and not cheap.
Grtz Bert.
