I have not visited that list in quite a while, but when I read
regularly there they were -very- strict about staying on topic. Just
an FYI.

If you look in the Links here, under Related Lists and Forums, there
are a few CNC forums. Including two started as spin-offs from
Homebrew_PCBs.

CAD, CAM, EDM, DRO list
Very focused list about building many times of homebrew CNC machines.

CNC PCB Design
Building and using a CNC mill to make PCBs and related parts. Started
by Dave Mucha as a companion list to Homebrew PCBs to move the CNC
specific stuff to it's own forum.

DIY-CNC
Building your own CNC machine. Mill PCBs, cases, parts, etc. Started
by Ballendo, a great companion group to Homebrew PCBs.
