But anyway, what i want to consider now is how to design a steel channel gantry, like a 6x6 square steel tube and steel risers. What I'm worried about is leaving myself enough adjustable with a steel gantry. So rather than reinventing the wheel, I'm having a hard time finding pictures of existing steel gantrys that have some adjustable that when I go to tram and so on, I will be able to do so.
I know this is vague, and honestly it's meant to be since I know i want a 5x9 table and steel. What worries me the most is adjusting it, so that is what I'm asking for.
Thanks.
