Hey nice work there looking great ,for my X rails I used 50x25 x3 tube with a 6m x 50 flat welded to it then had them wash ground together as a pair then stuck the lin rails on that stopped the flex...

This is funny to me as I was watching a vid on a 5 axis cnc and the wow factor to me was not the cutting ability, but the how rigid must the column holding the spindle .
So you have factored in the fatigue through rigid vibration that's a good thing ,what spindle are you using .
Yes true everything flexes ,my tool centre is 130mm from the gantry .When I was building the carriage I thought the 80mm dia metal case on the spindle would give a certain amount of support to keep...
This was my Idea to make the Z axis compact and also ridged ,by having the spindle mounted where it is there is no flex at that point when driven down and the lineal rails add also....
