Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Re: Machining reference surfaces on a steel frame.

In my experience it helps to plan extra thickness into the pads and have the shop grind top and bottom. It is much easier to hold flatness tolerances when the part can be flipped a couple times. Even when the weldment has been normalized it can move a bit.

Thanks guys, that was just the response I was looking for, I will
heed your advice and go for the seperate legs and also the additional
pads for the leg mounts and rail mounts. I know where I can get
stuff normalized as I did it for my own router bed (which is a eggbox
steel weldment) and it was pretty quick and cheap.
