    Click image for larger version.  Name: Router base.JPG  Views: 276  Size: 67.5 KB  ID: 10390Click image for larger version.  Name: Router base top.JPG  Views: 281  Size: 59.6 KB  ID: 10391I have taken on board the advice given and have drawn another base.
    The top is 1100mm x 700mm x 15mm, the sides are 100mm x 10mm as are the braces on the inside. The channel I have left because I'm undecided whether or not to use two steppers for the x-axis or just the one, in all likelihood it will one in the centre
    with an upgrade to two when funds allow.
    So far the base alone will weigh somewhere iro 50.6 Kg. I haven't yet sourced a stockholder but will ask for recommendations when I'm ready to start buying.

    With the base, I will need to think about where to fasten the linear rails, will they be better on the side of the base giving more work area? will they be better on the top for rigidity? Does where I want them to fit have a bearing on the type of linear rail used?

    Comments welcome.
