Jonathan i make no accusations, i just responded to your weak bold statement that lacked accountability of all facts. It was you that made the statement that unsupported rails are weak not me. I just pointed out some of the missing facts? If you could show how strong supported rails are attached to 40 x 40 profile like a lot of machines are you will see just how weak they are in comparison to your model?
PS I'm a performance engineer by trade and do a lot of modeling. i would get shot down in flames if i presented statements like that without all the facts.If the nagging gets really bad......Get a bigger shed:naughty:

And your point is? They'll still be stronger than the same size of unsupported rail which was the point Jonathan was making.

Use some common sense in this thread, realise this isn't a white paper on rail strength and that everyone here is a hobbyist
