Stell frame cnc 1500X1000. Adjustable table your opinion please

Roughly in order of priority...(i.e. in order of how much I expect these changes will impact the overall stiffness of the machine:

1. The thin plates the linear bearings are mounted on are definitely weak points.

Jonathan when you say "The thin plates the linear bearings are mounted on " you mean the carriages of X axis of Y axis or both X and Y axis?
The "thin plates" of X axis supposed to be 10mm iron. What thickness is suitable ?

The spacing of the bearings on the Z-axis is a bit low - bear in mind the deflection of the linear guide system is proportional to that bearing spacing squared, so every little helps.

I suppose you mean to increase the distance between the 2 lower and the two upper carriages and that will reduce the Z axis travel

Should i need a second side plate?


Thanks
