    Have you build anything before? I don think so or it was not that big

    So let me help you a bit:

    -You miss some basic understanding that Box section is stronger than U profile. Eliminate from your drawing any U section. Its ideal use is for table bed.
    -Diagonal braces are more difficult to cut, almost impossible to weld and do less job than bigger box section in simple order-You have drawn 1.2 ton of a machine and i could achieve stronger machine for half the weight.
    -These bolts for leveling the rails are mistake. Eliminate them. Either do separate portal with both sides and separate table in the middle / what i would do for stone/ or lay rails directly on table sides. Raised or not.

    So basically my advise is to do separate gantry and rails and sides, plus separate table in the middle. As the HD plasma systems do it. Or read my second build from my signature, as this is the other option. My machine will happily answer all of your criteria. Plus will save you a ton of money on the build if you follow what i have done as gantry and especially for the Z. You will note that i have extremely heavy duty bed that lies directly bolted on frame and makes my machine extremely strong

    Now separate or not will depend on how many water will flow around, how heavy the stones, how you will load them, if from time to time ...


    Hope that helps.
