    4x4 Build Looking for some feed back

    looking to build my second cnc. below is the image of whats in my head.
    give or take a little.

    I learn real quick on my last one that the things that you might over look can be a real pain in the butt.

    so my hope here is to gain any feed back on something i might of over look.


    Thanks
    BBamBam

    The gantry sides should have some triangular bracing, and If it were me, I'd drive both sides of the gantry, rather than the center, as it'll rack and bind.

    Are you gonna make it out of steel? if so welded or bolted? what do you plan cut and how fast?
    I also agree with ger21 dual drive because it looks like its gonna be a lot of weight also you wil probable need powerful motors to drive it
