Ok - design progress time.
I've been focusing on the frame/table so far - its now at a stage where i'm pretty happy with it & I think i've added everything that I meant to.
red = 60x60x4 box
blue = 50x50x3 box
green = 60x4 flat bar
orange = 50x4 flat bar
Rails are sat on 50x10 ally flat.
Ignore the floating guide leadscrew for now - its just there as a vague reference as to where i'm planning to put the leadscrews at the moment. Also ignore the holes going through the outside of the legs, they won't be there when I make it.
The frame has the ability to be adjusted for square in every direction. The cutting surface can be positioned in 5cm increments down the legs.
Both the lower surface & cutting surface will be covered in mdf added further bracing.
Hopefully this will mostly get nods of approvalso i can move on & start thinking about leadscrews, motor mounting & the gantry in more detail.
