| 80/20 torsion box and router design I would like to create a 4'x2' router out of 8020...perhaps the 1515 heavy as it seems to be a good price point. I am impressed with the mdf torsion box designs...could something like this be duplicated with 8020, and how would one go about it efficiently? Are there any plans for a mostly all 8020 built router of this size, perhaps using drill rod and skate bearings or perhaps using shafting and bearings or rails and carriages. Thanks! |

| Haven't seen any plans to speak of- but the nice thing is about 80/20 is its so versitle. Sorta a grown-up erector set. They have some free software/catalog for "messing with" and sorting out the materials available. If you look in the member's gallerys - System2 is an 80/20 and plastics. No torsion box but you could do one. I made the System1 and then System2 using 15x30 sections. System1 wasn't large enough - or stable enough to meet my needs. System2 is very close to the dimensions you mention. Jim
