Hi Wilfy,
Had a play see what you think to this.? It's well within the 2 lengths but it does use 50x6mm (or5mm) flat instead of 25mm but you'll see why.
Although slightly taller this way strengthens and helps with squareness of quite few area's and allows the screws to be brought down and to the side which will help with crap hitting them.
Because your using twin screws you can get away with slightly less bearing spacing so gained you about 90-100mm extra in the X axis (twinscrews) by shortening the bearing spacing slightly and off setting the rails back.
Let me know what you think and I'll tidy up the model and send back.!
Edit: Blue is 50x25mm Red 50x6mm
Edit2: Oh and if you don't like it then don't be afraid to say so you won't offend me.!Last edited by JAZZCNC; 06-01-2013 at 07:22 PM.
