why not consider dual drive R&P for the long axis, this will give you a clear space under for the vac and the long axis accuracy, have you looked at joes cnc?

With a screw on each side, you still have the same clear space under the table.

After talking with Ahren, I decided to go that route. Going with his Nema 34 R&P mount. Here is my preliminary welded steel frame design. 2" square and 2"X3" steel tubing structure. 3030 aluminum extrusions and 1/4" 1018 cold finished steel for side rails sitting on six 1/2" thick mounting/leveling pads. 1530 aluminum extrusions for bed cross members.
