Hi everyone,
I'm organising to build a CNC plasma table, the gantry kit i want to use is from the USA and requires 2" square steel tube, the actual size of that is 50.8 x 50.8mm, however in Australia the closest size is 50 x 50mm, I have spoken to the supplier and have been told that it will be too small for the gantry carriages to run on.
Does anyone know of a supplier that has 50.8mm square tube in stock? I can find it in stainless steel, but it is only 1.6mm thick and it is probably best at around 3 or 4mm thick.
