    Do you have a sketch of the overall plan? It's difficult to figure out where you're going with this from the photos alone?

    Also, why did you weld your adjustment bolts to the V-groove wheels or am I not seeing that detail correctly?

    That's going to be big one Tom.
    Are the aluminum rails going to support the weight?

    No there are no aluminum rails all steele. I think you may have seen my other
    cnc it's just sitting there next to the big one because I don't have room in my shop for the both of them. The rails are 1"x2" c channel with vgroove
    bearings. Thanks for stopping by Tom

    There will be no double belt drive Tom. Two 5 start screws will be run with two motors for Y axis.

    The X will run a single motor with a belt drive.
    More pics should be out later this week.
