Yea, we figured that as well. We have a 24" Axial paint booth fan just laying the in the corner we will use. We went through this when we wanted a powdercoat oven and they wanted 10K for a 4x4x6, so we built one for 1300. If anyone wants pics,part numbers, wiring for that no problem, email me and Ill provide.
So I figure instead of spending 18K to 35K on a table Ill build one. The table is a breeze, learning the software, and the gantry especially is what has me asking lots of questions. Dont want to build a "creeker" table (Florida slang for aba dabba) I use AutoCad 2005 now, but have never dealt with G code or CNC software. I forsee many weekends of trial and error as well as computer screen staring ahead.
Great forum, and thanks to all for the help so far. Going to price the steel today for the table, wish me luck with steel pricing going up 200% since 2003
