Hello Wizard, thanks for the information, very useful.
Had a good laugh when I read about the computer crash.. One reason I love my work, recycling computers and turn them into something useful..paperweights for example..lol
Anyhow, knowing that it's likely 8020 extrusion I'm working with might come in handy in the future as well as making it easier to sell materials. Need to check more detailed on measurements of the profiles and compare (as you mentioned before) to technical support documents from manufacturers.

For the Gantry, nothing really decided yet. I do have at least another 15 meters of the same large sections. Also have about 10 - 15 Aluminium Plates of about 85x85cm @ 10mm thickness. So I can cut proper supporting plates and put together a really stiff gantry.
Ordered a Compound Mitre-Saw with a non-ferrous metal blade yesterday, so that should arrive tomorrow for cutting extrusions to length.

Today hope to spend a bit of time to sort some materials to bring home for the coming holidays to play with.

Cheers,
Luc

Wish I was so lucky. That is a very nice score
