If you want to build something in that range, but have a larger and pretty rigid rig, consider Mechmate.com ... It is a real DIY project, normally uses NEMA 32 motors, but if you have some good 24's might work. Still check out their forums. Plans cost $100, normal build costs for everything go anywhere from $3K to $8 or 10K USD, depending on what you have and accountability in your area. Most folks build a 48x96" nominal cutting area machines that are about 6' wide and 10' long (again very rough dimensions). Some have been built much larger and some smaller. Critical parts that are laser cut and bent can be purchased from a single source. Sources for all techie stuff is available on the forums, but it is your build so use what you want (please don't cheap out, you get what you pay for in the long run, IMHO anyway). You will have to source steel locally and weld (easy welding, mainly rookie welders building these so it does not have to be 'pretty' welds).
