Big Brands Downsizing to 3m x 2m build

[BigBrand]

Full day on it yesterday.

I chopped down the main big steels to size. They are 3.55m long now which hopefully means i can get a full 10' sheet on the bed and have room to park the gantry over a linear ATC at the back of the machine.

We added some 80x80 steels in between the main cross beams to further support the router bed.



Then i went to work on the box section which will form the base to build off for the side Y rails. I did this in some 50x50x5 rhs box section. I mag drilled the section with 22mm holes on 3 sides of the steel and then band sawed through the corner between 2 of the holes. This is going to form a little access hole for some fixings. I also used it to plug weld the 3rd hole to the main large steels after getting it as level as possible.
