http://ph.groups.yahoo.com/group/Homebrew_PCBs/photos/view/a89e?b=4I don't have any plans for this mill, and I wouldn't recommend this

gathered from the web.
One good resource is cnczone.com. There's lots of info there.

http://crankorgan.comI bought his "Jester" mill plans a few months ago, and they look very
good. I haven't made the time to build it yet, but I'm very
impressed, and it's well worth the price.
