    OK so... We start off with a nice and heavy base.

    Base is constructed of 100 x 100 Cold rolled box section for the main legs and 100 x 60 on the base table.

    80 x 80 Extrusion will run alone each side of the table with smll slots in the box section to allow for slight adjustment. then locked off with angle brackets



    Im still not sure if i should lose the leg in the centre to allow me to run a brace under the table to help a little more to aid the crabbing of the gantry. this will also open up the possibility of using rotating ball nuts in the future.
