Other than where the front idlers are I think the thickest material is only 3/16. Most of the undercarriage is 1/8 but all of the body and boom are made from 1/16. I used 1/8 on the base of the house too which was a big mistake. I never thought that it would flex it as much as it does but live and learn...If I built another machine I would use at least 1/4 there to stiffen it up.
