The table (base) currently as it is is roughly 75kg. It has a 24mm thick aluminum base plate (36in by 36in) 6061-T651, with 72mm x 24mm x 1m on each side for the Y-Axis rails to mount to and 15mm plates for mounting everything together and aluminum profile under the 6061 plate for stability.
I have honestly got to much in the machine, but it has been a constant work in progress since I got the machine over a year ago. Love working on it when I'm not working on the CNC conversion for the manual mill.
EDIT* It's actually starting to get to heavy for the table it is currently sitting on top of lol.
