    this is just a quick verification to make the Acro 520 into an Acro 55 I will have to cut the Y axis and the front and back to 500mm based in the sketckup drawing from here .

    Is this correct as I was a little over zealous when I purchased the 20x40 frame :).

    If you don't mind me asking, why do you want to shrink it?

    The foot print is to large for my garage, I have a lot of woodworking tools and the wife wants to park her car in the garage

    That is an interesting thought! But making it smaller is easier

    Or you could have it fold down from a wall mount.
