After spending all that cash, I would still need to mill the edges square, mill the T-Slots, and drill & c-bore several holes on the perimeter!
This is a lot of work as a plate like this does tend to get heavy! Ouch!
Then I need to order the plates to frame our the base, allowing for the mounting of linear slide blocks. Next, order two more plates which will become the sides, along with a plate to connect them. Then I need to make the Y & Z-axis.
I still don't think people will buy such a machine!
How would I ship something like that, not cheap I'm sure!
