Hi Guys,
I've added this to the end of my previous thread but nothing definitive coming through. I made my bench out of 40x40x2.5 box and 2000x1000x8 plate.
I made a ladder frame for under the top and confirmed all was true and level. Put my plate down and the edges were slightly raised, I clamped all down and tacked it up. Bench is perfect across the 1000mm but has a 2-3 mm sag in the centre across the 2000mm length. The bend is apparent in the 40x40 underneath the plate, when you put another length against it.
Hitch suggested straightening it and using another section of 40x40 underneath. I'm worried that will also flex. I'm not sure what the best approach is. Would heavy angle work or what are your thoughts.
