Gantry advice please

[Crunch]

I like the ajustable bed.

How wide are the plates top and bottom of your gantry. As you have slotted your gantry for ball screw.
I like the look of your gantry.

The slot in your gantry is what I had planned for my box steel,so I could fit the ball screw inside. But I didn't realise how much strength I was going to lose. I ordered 8 mm thick to allow for it. After posting here and getting the information realise it will weaken it to much.

If I was doing it again I probably would have used heavy duty ali profile formed in a L shape. But that was my first router.. Gantry front plate 1000x210mm
