Hi,
I'm trying to find suitable materials to make a frame approximately 2500x1250mm to support a light gantry (5kg Inc router).
Originally I had planned to fabricate the frame from 50x50x3 rhs but I'm rethinking using aluminium profile, maybe 40x40 t slot or something, not sure how rigid it would be though.
Does anyone have any ideas or experience in building a table so big please? I have found UK suppliers of the extrusion but if it needs lots of bracing I fear it will cost too much :(
Any tips or links would be much appreciated.
Thanks very much,
JJ
