Planning the MM build

Hey guys,

Im in the process of getting the steel together for my build and have a quick question (Maybe a silly one)....

Im looking for the table to have a cutting area of a 4 foot x 8 foot.. what is the best way to go about this.

Sorry for the possible silly question but.... yep you guessed it i have newbie written all over me haha

Any help would be very much appreciated

Everyone on this forum is willing assist you in your build, but you will need to do some research on your own. Enjoy your build and looking forward to seeing your progress.

I am curious as to how you could have missed it? It is "sticky" thread, right near the top of the first section. Have you cottoned on to read the sticky threads first?
