    Problem with steel though DC is that people have said it is not flat enough for rails to be mounted on so you are then looking at some way to get it flat for the rails, if you don't have access to grinding/machining equipment how do you get it flat enough without having it machined by someone else which is another expense.

    I was looking at using west system 209 super slow low viscoscity epoxy (much cheaper than the specialist stuff) and stumbled across this thread on cnczone:

    Interesting stuff that! Please don't get me started on another obsession.... the whole CNC thing is already difficult enough to handle without all other aspects of my life falling to pieces! Lol
