    Come on.!! . . . Do the same with an 8x4 sheet.!! Give it to Rolf Harris and he'll play you a tune.!!!

    Get a grip man it's all about design and bracing.! With MDF/WOOD it means more bracing, much more to get near steel.

    I have worked both materials for years and have equipment to use both and if I could build just has strong, accurate, reliable and cheaper machine from wood then I would. I can't simple has that.!!
