Good idea mark! For a long time I thought I had built mine too big. 90% of the time I’m cutting stuff no bigger than A3

Thanks for the reply Malcolm. The way I figure it, if I build a smaller one with the same budget, I could make a better quality machine too. If I make it robust enough to work on aluminium, I'll be able to machine my own parts if I ever need to build a bigger machine.

It's looking like September will be when I start the actual build process. I'm hoping to have everything together by then so I can get it done ASAP, without any errors and not skimp on costs.

Sounds like a plan pal

I'm in exactly the same position as you are in that I want an 8x4 router for full sheets.
Looking around I decided to go with a Joes CNC hybrid design- comes in around the 2-3K price or more! ,all upgradable from the basic model which starts out with a mix of materials -MDF ,HDPE ali and steel , right up to his new design which is called the evolution 2.0 which is all made from 20mm plate aluminium.
It is a paid for plans/forum which I have bought but you do get access then to all the upgrades available.
I have my base made now and just waiting on my aluminium profile rails to get started on the actual machine.
I will post up my build on here in case anyone would be interested.
