    Thanks and I will post more pics when I get the thing done. the only main concern is currently there is 80mm clearance at the elevator door when it is on it's side and the door looks like it is shrinking each time I look at it :)

    Not sure if this is the place to add or showoff progress but this was a little while back. the problem is I intend to have a very large cutting area. so I needed to design and make a table lift. I just started using Fusion360 The movie is the render from fusion360 and the picture is the real life result
