First Router Build, Is The Frame "Beefy Enough"

[jimbooboo]

Hey there, I'm currently designing my first CNC from 50x25mm, 3mm rectangular box section. My CNC bed is 1000x500 I'm wondering if my frame will be stiff enough. Here is a render of how its going to be built. All bolted with mainly M5 bolts. The legs are made from 50x50mm 2.5mm thick square box channel.

This might sound like a silly question but will an M5 bolt fit in a 5mm Hole?


Thanks, James

I forgot to mention. Im going to add a cross member to bolt the legs together on each side.

Yes, it will.
