    That looks like a lot of nice work and it would be nice to see more pictures and more details on parts and costs.

    The 30mm linear rails (4) and linear bearings (4) and linear bushings (4) with shipping was about 1,000. The aluminum plate .5 and .75 inches thick along withe the .25 inch wall 3X4 tubing was 1.00 doller a pound at local recycle center, counting my waste (mistakes),about 100 dollers.

    Joe, looks like a very stable machine. Where did you buy those rails and bearings?
