New build with recycled parts on a ridiculous budget 120cm*60cm work area

[Desertboy]

I know the confused feeling :D
There are 200 sidesteps to complete an otherwise straight forward cnc build haha.

The cam bit is something I dont look forward to.
I know its gonna be a mental battle with lots of rage for my part while the software will be laughing at me ;)

For CAD i actually like solidworks better.. but Im not really good at it yet hehe.. my laptop is not powerful enough to run it without quirks and protest! Will have to invest ;)

What are you intending to control your machine with?

I went with linuxcnc over mach 3 because
1. I believe in open source
2. More real time kernal than windows which is important when using a PP BOB. If you're using the BOB I have with Mach 3 you need to run windows 7 or below 32 bit edition. Linuxcnc still needs to be 32 bit edition for PP BOB's.
3. It's FREE!!!

I worked the assumption that linuxcnc will be more difficult to setup but once working properly neither would have an advantage over the other for a simple router like mine.
