    When you weld this thing up it is going to bend. Suggest you do not weld the gantry supports because you will only end up trying to correct the misalignment with a THC. Best if you correct misalignment with screw adjustment or, let the gantry assembly rest on the table so it conforms.
    More if you want it...
    That was an idea i came across for the table, I have this one also as an idea separate table to the gantry with maybe a 4 hole base plate for leveling up (or is this too much)??
