Thanks for your honest opinion Jazz.

I wanted a smallish CNC machine for cutting aluminum parts for my hobby (it is around A3 size).
I believe the other parts I have should be up to the task of milling alu - but it appears that my frame is not! I was hoping to not have to build my own frame - but rather create my cnc machine from constituent parts.

As to creating the actual frame itself, I really would not know where to start or what would be needed to create a frame stiff and accurate enough to mill aluminum, hence why I bought it from the advice I was given at that time.

Browsing around here, this one looks like it could be up to the job:

but I would not be able to at this stage design anything like that to give to someone to be able to cut for me.
If someone here is able to create something like that for me then I would be very willing to discuss costs etc with them

Cheers
