The slats are removable. They sit in 3 cages which are also removable. The pic here show the slats remived and a better view of the sump and gutters. here I wanted the water table flat for easy cleanouts.

This a pic of the valves and switch for the water table. Also the auto oiler
The vaalves are just to isolate the pipes. Fill and drain us via the switch.

This is one of the Y axis drives. Ive made the cover semi transpearent for the pic. Ive put a filter and fan in the cover as well. The belt is tucked up behind the rails. The second pic shows the from the underside. I havent bothered to draw the belt around the drive pulley yet. The reduction is 4:1 and I have room for a 45 tooth final drive pulley between the carrages. I'm guessing ill use a 30 tooth giving 15mm per rotation of the stepper. A 40 tooth gives me 20mm. Used the 45 in the model to get the clearances correct

Looks great.
I am a bit worried about your gantry ends as they may flex under inertia on X axis moves.
I think it It needs something to stiffen it up. Can you fold the edge over or attach another box member along the angled edge?

Pics of the X axis. I have used a prebuilt torch height unit, as I have this one here. Will have to chage the DC motor to a stepper. Ive included the Torch, Camera and scribe. All 3 can access all the the table cutting area. In the second pic is a vew with the covers removed. Again Ive added a fan and filter to the the cover plates

This the X drive from the rear with the covers removed. Aslo some more details views of the drive itself. The reduction and final pully is the same as the Y axis

Solidworks is estimating the ganry at 29kg (everything that moves).Im guessing about 30 once built as I dont have the cables in the model. 

Anyway getting very close to what im after and starting to build.
If anyone has any sugestions or comments that would be great.
If you want and more details or images let me know
