If I could get anything like half as good as that I'd be very pleased!! that's also put one thing to rest in my mind......I was unsure if I dare ask about using Ally for the gantry construction for a 4' width table but quite obviously its more than up to the job!!!

Hopefully the man himself will be along to offer help and advice over the next few days, I've seen plenty of his help and comments, great sense of humour too!!

Thanks Clive

I've had a search and read through some build logs but can find very few 8x4 machine builds......there was one I found but it never got past making the steel frame unfortunately
