That big hunk of material that is your gantry, is that steel box section? If you intend to mount the rails directly to it you might want to consider finding a local machine shop with a surface grinder that can grind it reasonably flat for you.

thanks dc

base is steel and all the upper is 12mm ali plate and box section

cross member is 6 x 3 ali box, is this really necessary to get the box y gantry ground, if it is then my budget has been killed

but if you are taking about the box and plate that connects to rails, then i that's given! i will nee the plate cute to shape and the I bar making, the i bar is made from ali, but the was thinking of welding it in steal but this means get the cut on a water jet or laser?

been working on different ideals as you can see from by thread, but seam like almost no one is willing to giving advice or the own views, i welcome anyone who can talk from experience, good or bad,

i-beam is screwed together, but if i can find a ali wekder i will get his welded
