    Which weighs 25Kg add this to the spindle and stepper and I will have 40Kgs on a piece of 160x80 profile.
    Will this work or will it twist the gantry due to inertia because of it's height (600mm) plus the stepper on top (180mm)


    Perhaps I should be thinking about copying the back plate in aluminium to reduce weight?

    I'm hopeful that if I can get the machine to a point where I can 'make chips' I can make some of my own parts and make improvements.

    I am totally guilty of having gone shopping before getting a design fully worked out, lesson is being learned...
