Used solely in dense hardwood and laminate wood materials
Attached is the rough drawing of the base, steel welded/ bolted construction
Sqaure parts are 2x2" steel tube, angle iron is 3x3" (have a ton on hand) and rectangles are 4x1"
Plan on running the long axis on rack and pinion and linear rails.
Budget is around 5k
Now on to the questions:
1. I've heard conflicting things about building from the top down and the bottom up, is starting at the frame the right move?
1a. any advice on improving the frame/ making it more rigid?
