Hi Alan,
I am always interested.
Thanks

Hi Chris, Volkan, Herbert, all,
I'm in the process of designing and building a small PCB router. I'm
using parts from two linear ways I collected a few years ago, and
stepper motors I had on hand. I'll probably time-share one of the
controllers I built for my Sherline CNC lathe and mill.
I'm using the linear ball screw sleeves and ACME threaded nuts from two
ways, and a similar but slightly smaller unit for the Z. I'll need to
make up translation blocks" (drilled for the bushings and ACME nuts) for
the Y and Z axis of my gantry style mill. Simple rectangular aluminum
stock makes up the frame and the two uprights.
If anyone is interested, I can post pix of some of the stages of
construction. I might be posting it on The SherlineCNC list as well.
