I like the epoxy granite idea and have followed the thread for a long time but it seems to me a bit to involved for a mid level machine, and has some complicated problems. Do you agree? - Would make a great bed though.
I think the composite idea is a good one, alu box filled and reinforced? Sand in polyester resin / concrete with rebar. Thoughts? Calcs? I wonder what 5kg of resin's exothermic reaction is like?
I agree that linear rails or supported round rail are the minimum for a project of this type
What is a good enevlope? For me it would be 2' x 4' ishLast edited by Wotsit; 09-12-2009 at 11:23 PM. Reason: More thoughts
