Howdy, no problem Mike.
If you're only plasma cutting, an aluminum extrusion machine is most likely plenty strong enough since there are no real forces at work on the moving cutter, only slinging around the weight of the cutting head itself. It's when you start applying the forces from a rotating spindle head on wood or metal that rigidity becomes critical as I'm sure you know.
Good luck!--------------
