Hi Charlie,

Well you don't mention the size of the machine and this will play a part in if it's strong enough or not. If it's narrow then yes it will be fine but if it's like 4ft wide then No you'll need to do a little more with it. Think about using two pieces in an 'L' arrangement.

Now other things I will pickup on is the use of 5mm pitch screws.? These will be a little slow for cutting wood and plastics so better to go with 10mm pitch. Again depending on size of machine will determine the diameter.? As a general guide any longer than 1400-1500mm then go with 20mm diameter 1300 or under then 16mm.
