Aluminium Framed Router

Ecocast already dismissed offered some stock from a company due to close.

Idea behind lower Plate 3x1 1/4" to make unit stable if moved off base bolting rails straight through plate and cast top so idea to have some rigidity while building off plate as thats being ground.

Raising sides and shortening gantry was considered using 6x2 box section between cast plate and mounting rails shortening gantry sides considerably sounds like this may be worth while also removes bottom plate.

As I already have all of the Angle and T sections that I used in original design (reasoning behind much of my design) and have been offered all the plates in original design for £100 inc vat for 6082 grade stock will have to see what is available have to look will be buying more depending on space in my lock up when I see the total stock today, if nothing better available backing the 1x6 635mm X axis with available 3x1x1/4" angle would allow top bottom mounting X rails and firm up cross beam.

Back to the Drawing board and try again, thanks for the input.
