Re: Weight Reduction
We have a saying that we use over and over when looking for weight reduction;

Steel parts first, then alluminum, then plastic.

Cutting/drilling holes in a 1/8" lexan side plate for instance is pretty inaffectual. On the other hand, putting a gear or sprocket in a lath and taking some "meat" off it can pay big dividends.
