Hi Ardenum, About budget, mostly I'm thinking about the steel price and how much it will take to prepare it, hardware I will use what I bought already, at the same time I'm trying to build a machine that is copy to langmuris, to cut parts for fun mostly will be granite engraving, aluminum, it would be good if I can cut steel like langmuris, if I can get it to get better than them would be even better, also occasionally as a jobshop I would like to cut parts for university students.

is that because langmuris machine is not stiff enough ? or because I can't copy it good

You mean the Y rails should be supported and connected to the bed ? like this
