I am using some CNCROUTERPARTS stuff, but my frame is 45 series rather than 40 series extrusion. I am interested in the outer end to outer end truck spacing on the standard Pro parts. For both the x and y axis. Thanks for the help.

CNCRouterparts publish all of their designs on their web site. You should be able to find everything you need there.

What size machine?
Any of the large machines would be fine. I am building 5'4" x 5'4".
Can you share a picture and point to exactly what you want measured? I have a 5'x10' CNCRP Pro machine with the linear rails and I'd be glad to measure what you want. Then again, if you contacted CNCRP, I'm sure they'd be able to get you the measurements too as they were always responsive and provided all information I needed.
The carriage bearings on each rail on the x and y axis are spaced apart from each other. I am interested in the distance, from the outer end of one truck to outer end of the other truck on the same rail. Increasing this distance stiffens the axis, but reduces the travel for that axis for a given length of rail. It is a design trade and I am interested in what number they have chosen. It looks to be a little over a foot, but I can't tell much more than that.
CNCRP has all their 14.1 version drawings in .easm format. Download the free drawing viewer and install it. The viewer has a "measure" tool you can use.
Harbor Freight has free measuring tapes.
Bruce-
I was talking to the more than 260 people that have viewed your thread, I am sure at least a couple of them could give you that measurement very easily.
Sorry I wasn’t able to measure this for you sooner but the truck spacing from outside edge of linear bearing to outside edge of linear bearing is 302 mm.
