Well here goes... Aluminium frame router design

[Boyan Silyavski]

Thanks for the quick replies guys.

Hi Boyan, when you say no diagonals, you mean to remove all angled box sections? and then swap my 5mm plate for 10mm on the existing bolt plates, the reason I chose 5mm was because it would be easier to weld to the 4mm box section (I think!)
Cheers, Charlie

Yes,
and if you do the small effort of designing and welding additional bottom plates where the threads will go, i am sure about that.

There is no problem welding 10mm plate to 4mm box section, on the contrary, the weld when properly done will make things stronger


Anyway, you could just buy 6m flat 10mm thick bar and cut it to many pieces with the Rage.
