A brand new machine build. 2x4 size or something in that region. :)

Did not have the funds to opt for a DMM kit this time... Sadly...

So I opted for Leadshine AM882 drives, and 1600oz-in steppers (low cost ones) Will be switched out at some time in the future, with Leadshines own stepper motors instead.
But for now, they run ok.

The old machine was sold. A bit to big for my garage. It took up almost 6m2.

How you did the T slot?

The T-slots I bought from www.motedis.com

I let the machine route out the recesses for the t-slot rails, and just screwed them into the table top.

Now i have the question here if the result on aluminum is a bit poor cause the aluminum t-slots would not hold it strong enough/ the alu plate/ . cause i have to decide now for my machine and still in doubt. I have been searching for the same but in steel.

What do you think? Is the slot strong enough? Any vibrations from the work holding?
