Planning and getting things together

Design 2 is my favourite at the moment. Taking into account the length of my machine I would probably need 4 vertical supports instead of 3.
I would be interested to hear thoughts from others on this.
Thanks

Very similar to what you have in mind I think ? but this one is just 1000 x 600 bed so about 1/4 size.

Looking good there he says with envy.
That's a lot of steel and it must weigh a ton.
I will be following your thread closely.

Probably about 100kg so not too bad.
On a larger machine I would have made the bed as a separate piece and maybe have the sides separate so they bolt onto end pieces.

Your frame is looking great Eddy. Well done, you now seem to be well on your way to having a very nice and well thought out machine. G.
