4x8 longterm build

[HamerDownJustin]

I don't see my build going really fast.But fixing to start a build and try my hand at it.Any suggestions would be appreciated.I am new to the cnc stuff but fab work have been doing for a while now.I am still reading on everything everyday.

As of now thinking about going with the BladeRunner AIO Dragon Cut System.With the upgraded 620oz motors and the built in THC.While saving the money for the package will start on the base of the table.Main reason looking at this package is because the part that confuses me on what to get and use is the electronics.Is $1450 a good price for this kit?Specs are listed before the motor upgrade.

# BladeRunner AIO Controller with 4 Drives (4 axis)
# 576W 48V12A Power Supply
# 4ea 300 oz-in 3.5A Hybrid Stepper motors - optimized for the BladeRunner
# THC Sensor Card & cable
# DTHC Expansion Module - Installed
# Full Cable Set
# Compact easy to mount (12X10X6 Case inside dimensions)
# Perfect for prototyping, medium volume production or hobby machines.
# 28 page manual on DTHC setup and testing
# Usable for routing and plasma.

On the base of the table I am considering building slightly big that way when I figure out what type of rails etc..I am going to use I know there will be plenty of room.Would like to use a pressure tank to raise and lower the water level.But that will be a project after it is going.

you aren't going to find as much stuff for the same money anywhere else, I don't think.

Just be sure you stay within the weight guidlines for the gantry.

Might give them a call before I start for all the specs.I was thinking 2" x 3" 14guage maybe for the main rail going across.
