X Axis Base and Rails

The base I have used is part of a kitchen worktop (we've recently had one fitted). The reason for using this is it is flat and fairly heavy to make a good solid base.
I have been reading a lot of other CNC sites and blogs and a lot of people use a metal base but since I had this worktop I am using it.



Base and X Axis parts
 

 

The X-Axis parts shown above are as follows:

Chrome plated steel tubes (these are mop handles from Poundstretcher!) they are 7/8 inch diameter

Aluminium angle from any DIY store - it is 1inch x 1inch

Pipe clips to hold the chrome tubes

Miniature bearings  - 7x19x6mm - from eBay

CNC table - just a piece of laminated chipboard .
