The Bottom Pic looks very much like Merchant Dice machine and just ask anyone about how well MD machine performs..

Your gantry design is week and far too weedy for decent router this size.

These were some earlier drawings I was playing with, when I mentioned earlier on in the thread about and L shape gantry, this was what I meant. Looks heavy. I realised though by sweeping back the gantry I can save a bit of room in the overall length of the machine.

It's just the weight of it all too is a logistal nightmare when you start using bigger steel.

Im going to make some time in the week to go see my guy and see what he says about just how much fabrication he wants to take on, show him some pictures.

I haven't used AutoCAD for years, and even that was limited to simple furniture made in a caravan factory with someone I knew. Just started using sketch up more recently. I'm going to the local college on Monday to see the lecturer for this city and guilds course which hopefully will help me hone my skills.
