@JAZZCNC: Thanks for the Great information and your time for posting.
I have started working on the Steel base Structure, I have the overall size but height will be adjusted/tweaked as soon as I get the machine completely drawn up.
Here is what I have so far, I am using 100mmx50mm Steel Box with 3mm wall, I am sure this will be more than strong enough.
Is there anything the looks glaringly/obviously wrong?
I will continue to work on the Design and keep everyone posted.
Use them on all Axis but with the Z axis mount the rails on the front plate and bearings on the rear plate, this will give the maximum strength when the Z axis is extended.
Another option and something I like and know Jonathan likes to use is connecting the motors to the screws via a short timing belt.
On another note regarding the Stepper/Ballscrew on both sides of the X-Axis, what happens when 1 stepper falls behind or fails?
