No offense to this list, but this list is how to make circuit boards,
not how to make machines, and not how to engineer equipment, select
linear rails or drawer slides etc.
It would be nice to have one be-all list, but this list is clearly
stated as how to make boards.
There are other CNC lists and other machine too lists, but the
newbies I see on those are afraid of asking questions as often the
discussion are so high level. if you ask about drawer slides on the
CCED list, you will get laughed at and told 100 reasons why it will
not work. of couse on the CNC-PCB list you can see pictures of those
machines and the boards they have made.
If there were not such a huge seperation between the topics, the list
would not have been created.
