Hi
I get confused with the axis terminology, but I did mean that the Y is longest.
I havent got the model to hand at the moment (at work) but I think the bearings are about 270mm centres I'd like to keep it around 4ft cutting area and don't really want to make them wider if I can get away with it.
I'm not certain what you mean about controlling the racking with belts or wire ? do you have any links to something that has used something like that ?
The design started off using box section, I am aware that I might get some flex with channel, I have some ideas about strengthening it if I need to, the problem with box section is bolting the steel angle to it, you cant get to the nuts to tighten them up, I thought about using large self tappers but I think they might vibrate loose so I went for channel, it's a pretty strong channnel as it's meant for supporting the floors of trucks but your right, it will twist more than box.
Vic
