Hi Lee, pm sent . . .
For anyone interested here is episode 26 of the CNC series giving an overview of my humble but functional CNC controller.
Also, for anyone who likes oscilloscopes there is a review of the Hantek DSO5102P oscilloscope supplied by Banggood.
Then right at the end of the video is a short montage of the controller build.

I've had many requests for the CAD of this machine. I've also had requests for narration so I decided to put together a 3 part mini series to show a shorter version of the build for new viewers and also explain how the CAD can be downloaded for free (explained at the end of part 3). If you have seen the original 27 episodes of this build there is no new material, but the narration may help with explaining how I approached it.
Here is part 1 of 3:

Like buses you wait for ages then 2 come along together. Here is part 2 of 3 of this miniseries. Again, if you have seen the original 27 episodes of this build there is no new material, but the narration may help with explaining how I approached it.

The major benefit of this design is the ability to machine a workpiece that is way larger than you could fit in a conventional fixed gantry mill. You could place one end of a 20' beam on the bed and machine one end, or even machine the entire length in stages.
Since I have an air compressor . . . I decided it was about time !

As per the YouTube comment, here are some pics of my cool mist set up, but for my manual milling machine.

Those water filters will take 8 bar it will probably say that on the box and the little screw on RH side is for letting the air out (priming) when being used as a water filter .
