Steel frame for 8' * 4' cnc bed ?

jazz, maybe in future "you" will be more mindful and PM the people that you want to tare a strip from... besides that i think we are all open to critisism if its unagressive and done without an air of superiority.

i also appologise Justin for my part in hijacking this thread.

Ok Mark, first I didn't tare strips and neither was I aggresive. Also I can't help it if you take confidense gained with experience and twist it into something else like superiosity.

Thou I will take your critisism on board and if feel the need directly PM folks warning of bullshit posters.

I'm leaving it here now. . good night.!

If you are not bothered about weight, why don't you buy an old machine and fit new drives and electronics. i would have thought you are more likely to achieve the level of accuracy you require.

I have trawled in the interweb for hours on end looking for 2nd hand cnc machines, and not had a great deal of joy.

That is slightly too large. I have another plan in progress which is to make the base out of concrete and the rails out of epoxy granite and all so that it can be dismantled easily.
