Anyone built a plasma table? Or for that matter bought one. I've see the burntables stuff on here but think I can save some coin and go DIY. I have most of the stuff laying around to build the table its self. At that even the gantry kits are $$$$. I understand you get what you pay for but I think I can build it myself.
Really I guess what I am asking is which type of rail system should I go with? I really like liener bearings but they are $$$$. I have 4 bearings that use a 1.5" shaft that I could use for my Y but if I use them there I'll need to buy them for my X and Z. Not opposed to that but $$$.
I have seen the bearing and Cold rolled steel option and the bearing running right on the tubing. I like the CR option better cause you can replace it if it gets screwed up.
I know a couple people on here have them and would be interested in there opinion.
