My comment about trying to get all four out of a single length is a bit moot now anyway as I realized that I wouldn't be able to hit my 1220mm cutting target on X, I've just finished stretching the frame up to 1800mm and adding an extra support column. It really brings home how important it is to design before building.
If you struggle let me know. I'm only up the road from you in Hereford, the company that I work for builds grease, oil and water lubrication and cooling systems so we have a workshop that has a nice bandsaw for example! Let me know the lengths you need (and size) and I'll get a cost and will happily cut it up into the lengths you want?

My baseframe was cut (and welded) at work.
