    Whoopie today my first set of u groove bearing's turned up. Also by a stroke of cheeky luck I scored 4 1.2m mild steel equal angles for free. After 10mins of tinkering I'm now rolling x and y. Still wait for my couplings and sprocket's.

    If you are serious at this you could design in Fusion360 it is free for hobby use, a big learning curve but it has CAM built in so you could use for generating the gcode later on.

    There are plenty of tutorials on it. like https://www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...Alt9yzBIp84sD8

    OK so over the weekend, I had my mate (kids in tow) come round and we tinkered with the CNC mockups.
    After which i had one quick upgrade and now i have an almost fit for purpose machine.

    I still want to replace 80% of the parts (as i'm a bad carpenter)
    Photos and Video to follow.
