Allright !! linear motion parts got in !!! :banana:
there is 10 rails . using 6 rails for the table and i ordered a small set to upgrade my mill/drill X-Y
i am actually playing with quotations software with different aluminum extrusion profiles and it is in USD$ , i can see the price of the whole frame is totally changing fast and i am not totally sure i need what kind of profile , stiffness i need , light or heavy-duty etc...
i am now thinking of building a steel table top who would be stiff and straight who would cost a lot less money but i am a bit scared of building a warped plane table because welding pulls a bit on the angles . Would add extrusions on the steel table but would need smaller and light profiles .
And yes probably someone is gonna find the Y axis longer than the X axis , making a long carriage but will be more accessible working surface for me
About 1500$ 80x160 and 80x80 light profile
About 1000$ 80x160 C-Beam , 40x80mm carriage/gantry and 40x40 for the surface
About 700$ for 80x80 , 40x160 for the gantry , 40x40 table surface holder
