Question:
I'm currently considering my last purchase which is the material for the X axis supports. The sides of the machine will be roughly 2 metres longwith a support at each end, the 1.8 metre rails will be bolted to the sides. I have a bunch of 2" x 2" X 10G and 1" x 4" x 10G box section so I'd like to use something that will match up with this well.
The options are:
1" x 4" X 10G box section (mounted vertically)
1/2" x 4" solid bar
2" x 2" solid Bar
The cheapest and simplest option is the box section, any opinions out there on the suitibility of these materials?? |
