Subject: My CNC

From: Alan King <alan@...>
Date: 2005-12-13

I have about 8-10 days until my boards get back, which need some
internal routes, so time to get my CNC back up and running and tuned
up. Since it could stand a clean and some more mechanical fine tuning,
I will deconstruct it and take pictures and measurements and write up a
guide on how to assemble and align it easily and properly. $75-ish for
the mechanics not including motors and driver, metal in basically all
critical areas, parts all from Lowes, and only takes a drill and the
ability to cut ends off etc, straight lines are from the metal parts not
cuts. Haven't tweaked it to 100% in all ways, but it's pretty good
already and I think almost anyone could get this built fairly well
without a ton of tools or time. In fact, I think I'll get going on it
some tonight, should have pictures within the next day or two.
