Silvaski, sorry to hear you've hit this snag, particularly after your success on the first machine. In an ideal world Jimbo is right, playing with epoxy is a necessary evil, which is better suited to machining. I'm beginning to wander whether I should weld the top half of my frame with rail beams and investigate whether there are machining services around to do the levelling. Knowing my luck I will have wasted several export batches which could go towards machining cost! I'm sure, the cost and availability of this alternative would likely dissuade me from this. The problem is you need a machine to level it, and the irony is that once finished, the machine you have built may be able to perform the task at hand!
Certainly your post and experience make me Dolby cautious when I get to this stage.

Not enough bridges IMO. I've only ever done one machine near that size with epoxy and I had 5 bridges with 2 people pouring epoxy.
To late know for you but for others like tinkerman this is why I don't like epoxy for large machines and use the adjustable top rail beam then shim as needed.
