I am looking to build a large size RAWcnc machine. My working material is 3000x900mm, so I need the frame with a size of around 4 meters.

Where should I start? As standard shipping couriers in Europe usually don't accept packages over 2 or 2.4 meters, ordering a 4-meter profile online seems to require expensive custom freight delivery.

For those of you who have built large tables:

  • Where did you source your long extrusions? (I am located in Latvia / the Baltics).

  • Did you pay for commercial freight, or did you splice shorter 2-meter profiles together to save on shipping?

  • If you spliced them, how did you ensure the frame remained perfectly rigid and didn't sag in the middle?

Thanks in advance for the advice!

Best regards, Gatis
