    Welcome Mike, I built my machine without doing any drawings just rough sketches. I used a pillar drill and a set of calipers, it was fairly accurate but not totally(current tollerance of under 0.5mm). Avoid steel plate where you can and indeed linear rail or hiwin rail if you can afford them! Aluminium plate and extrusion will be your friend, trust me I've rebuilt a lot of mine from steel plate.
