Why waste words when you can get some other muppet to say it all for you. .:naughty:. . . . Erm which muppet would I be.????? . . . Oh Oh I know one of them piss taking old bastards sat in them theater box's . :rofl:

Anyway here's my thoughts on it.!! . . . . Don't hesitate and go for it. It works an absolute treat and very little negatives.

If building from fresh then I'd position the gantry to run horizontal not vertical like mine does at the minute. I have mine this way to stop the screws getting covered in crap because of how it's built.
I'd build a super strong bedbase with rails running down each side and twin rotating ballscrews under neath the base. It would be very much like this just using ballscrews instead of R&P.
