Ok people sound off what do you guys think is better for a multipurpose machine wood/Aluminum? Is having a moving gantry good for having less materials for a larger work area or is having a moving table better for the accuracy. I'm just talking about a moving table in One Axis Y I think. What I'm looking at is building a somewhat production machine out of extrued Aluminum and then having a mini mill head for Aluminum and a Router for the wood. Is a moving gantry going to be strong enough to handle aluminum or should I lean toward a moving table. I think a lot of the newbs like me on hear could benifit from this discussion.
